Teststand Editor Pain icons menue color

[paloff]

I upgraded form TS19 to TS23 and find it strenuous to work with this editor-GUI coloring.

Is there a way to change the Editor skin to a more apropriate coloring?

Thank your for any sugestions.

Hello,

There is a suggestion here (may 2019).

Marked as 'under consideration' (january 2023).

You may add a kudo and check the comments, there is some trick and workarround to get a dark mode.

Best regards,

Thank you for the fast answer. This solution is ok, but improves not the readability as I was used in Teststand 2019.
I can't understand that NI did release such a bad User Interface with no posibility to change the skin including icons, pane frames, shadowing and so  on.
I hope NI finds fast a better solution for the next release in Teststand 2024. I will switch back to TS2019 until this happens. Unfortunatelly I still have to pay for the licence😕

After working with TestStand 2017 for many years, I have now used TestStand 2023 for the first time. The colorless, black symbols in the new TestStand Editor are really awful, quick comprehension and recognition are hardly possible anymore. This colorless user interface could only have been designed by a depressed person! Let's hope that future versions will be more user-friendly again.

Thanks for the feedback. We will be incrementally addressing this. TestStand 2024 Q4 will have some visual improvements to make the menu bar & tool bar more readable (bigger icons, better spacing). We're also making some minor tweaks to the colors in background and the borders to make the editor easy on the eyes.
