On Windows 10/11, even if you have dark mode enabled in Windows theme settings, it still leaves you with a white glaring title bar on the top of Premiere Pro and After Effects (pictured).
I understand this is a technical limitation from Microsoft since their dark mode is wonky, not perfect (essentially just a lazy reskin of their white menus), and even broken in some contexts, but I think what Adobe devs could do is create their own title bars in-app similar to how Photoshop and Acrobat do, and that will give them the ability to color it independantly from Windows.
With the onset of different OLED monitors becoming more common & mainstream in the near future, this would be a really helpful feature request as it can help avoid burn-in of pixels, and also cause less stress on the eyes for longer periods of work.
Presently, the only real way to get dark title bars in these applications is to use third-party Windows customization software and themes, which pose a major risk to effective Windows operation as they have a tendancy to break other things, and are generally untrusted.
P.S. Perhaps we can also look into making the context menus (the menu that opens when you right click a piece of media or your timeline) dark as well? 👀
