Just another thought on this subject. Over the past week as we've been preparing for a big event this Friday I've had many opportunities to look back at the production area 100' away from the stage and the main source of light back there is coming from the monitor screen lighting up our lighting operator because of the white color of ShowXpress. We've even lowered the screen brightness and it really doesn't help. It also is blinding to the operator. This about how Spotify, Jands, M Martin, etc. all have dark or black as the color of the software. It's not nearly as bright and overwhelming to the eyes.
I'm asking: please reconsider making it at least an option in Preferences to have the look of the software black or dark gray instead of white. Not only will it make it easier on the eyes since 99% of the time it's used in a dark environment, but it would light up the production booth much less, and finally, bring a bit more of a "high end" look to the software itself.
Thank you a million for listening.
