Dark theme on Allegro

Bijanbina
Bijanbina over 6 years ago

Lately I found that you could get a dark theme on windows 7 and after that guess what? I try to see what allegro would look like with this theme applied. I attached the screenshot and from what you can see it's gorgeous. Absolutely beautiful. Just the menus, and visibility pane color and some minor are not have good look.

So please cadence guy. can't you add a theme capability to allegro. your almost created an elegant beast.

    @Cadence Developers...

    Wow!!! Are you serious?

    I just saw the 17.4 release and I can't believe you did that but unfortunately in the wrong way.
    A little advice, instead of using those ugly icon you can buy a commercial license from fontawesome and use their icon to make Orcad Capture a pretty devious software. Also please do not use pure white color, it really kill the mood. Use more softer light gray color in the labels and menus.

    Hope to see a better UI really soon.

    Are you talking about Capture, or is there now also a dark mode for Allegro?

    I'm pretty sure there is a darktheme on allegro.. I saw it on video tutorials at youtube and at the cadence web page:(https://www.orcad.com/products/customize-pcb-design-experience).

    At the middle of the page there are 5 icons to show 5 diferent GIF images. The last 3 GIFs show "OrCAD PCB Designer Professional" in dark mode.
