Acrobat DC — window background color

thank you

halleluja! this is much better guys - thanks!

ADOBE FINALLY MADE IT HAPPEN! They made a dark theme! Update Acrobat DC to version 2015.016.20039 and go to

View > Display Theme > Dark Grey

Just a toy program now. Have to use old Acrobat 8 to do anything critical. Most of these software writers don't have real world experience, but the pay is great.

Forced to upgrade from Acrobat X last night. Have been working in it for 5 minutes today and my eyes are blown out. This is pretty terrible that we cannot choose a darker theme like other Adobe CC products. We need another option.

Acrobat DC is completely unsuitable for graphic professionals who spend a lot of time looking at a computer screen. The background is too light. In fact, the whole interface is too light and does not make an adequate contrast with the documents. Also, the new buttons and tabs occupy too much screen space. The bookmarks are also too big, with only a few fitting the window height. I include an example of the same document on the same computer screen. Please note that the 11 version even has a row with additional tool icons. This is on a 1920x1200 screen. In screens with lower numbers of pixels you can fit even less tool icons on the screen! And just look at the ridiculous space the exact same bookmarks now take on screen.

In sum: the new one looks like a toy. I fear that our once beloved Adobe will go the way of Microsoft and such. It certainly does not seem to care for its customers' needs as it once did, now it all seems a matter of the fashion of the day. There are incomprehensible bugs and inconveniences for the user that have stayed there for years without being corrected. It's a shame. Would it be so difficult to put Acrobat Pro on a par with, say, InDesign or Photoshop? Would it be so difficult to let the users customize the interface color and appearance? This way, everybody would be happy. There are a lot of professionals that use desktop computers or notebooks for their work, not everything is phones, tablets and touch screens in general!

We recently purchased two licenses for Acrobat Pro. We insisted that those licenses be for Acrobat Pro XI and we obtained it. We intend to purchase three more licenses for another department, and if it is not possible to obtain the licenses for version XI we will simply postpone the purchase and hope that Adobe will come to its senses. Or else look around the competition for a proper professional PDF editor. Please Adobe, do something about this!

I'm using Turksh version of Adobe DC but there is no updates about background colors and it really hurts my eyes, it is impossible work with this !

Please allow a dark background in settings for convert to PDF for AutoCAD drawings. Most are on a black background so all the line and text colors are light and washed out on a white background. Please make this a priority as it causes eyestrain that may result in our using a different product.

Curious if Adobe has implemented any fix to the background color issue. Agree with many of the earlier posts that the current 'white-washed' background is very hard on the eyes, particularly when the display is bright.

There does seem to be a continuing disconnect between the developers at Adobe and real world end users (who ultimately pay their salaries). As many others have said this supposedly Pro product should be highly customisable and I find the white background to the tools a real nightmare. The beta testing programme for this and the recent upgrade to Lightroom must have been limited to a very small cross section of users!
