Finder window (Save As/Export, etc) show up in light color even though the system/app theme is dark

[#1]

I know its not a huge issue but as a designer its a little irritating. When running under the darkest theme in Illustrator and Indesign the open, save, export, and place dialogues are all in light themes even with the OS in Dark mode. All of the dialouges in Photoshop however show up dark.

Hi there,

Thanks for reaching out. You can always change the color theme of InDesign under Preferences > Interface.

I have also attached a screenshot as well for reference.

Hope it helps.

Hi Ashutosh:

I think the OP is pointing out that even with the dark interface selected, those four specific dialog boxes are still light. I have my Mac in dark mode as well as InDesign in dark mode and those dialog boxes don't honor it. It bothers me as well—my eyes are very sensitive to light.

Having Ashtuosh (an Adobe employee) on this thread is helpful, but I recommend filing a bug report for both apps:

• InDesign: https://indesign.uservoice.com/
• Illustrator: https://illustrator.uservoice.com/

If you come back here and post the links, I will vote for them.

Hi Barb,

Thanks you so much for reaching out and highlighting this. I understand your concern but this is an expected behavior in all Adobe Applications (even with PS).

I will pass on this feedback to our Product team and you could you also post it on our UserVoice page and paste the link here, so that others can also upvote this request.

Hi Srishti:

Oddly, Photoshop honors the dark interface for those dialog boxes.

Thanks for sharing this, Barb. I will pass it on to our engineers to look into this.
