Looking for a dark theme
-
Hi
Total newbie here. For years I was stuck with Audacity and then I discovered Strawberry and, frankly, I am in awe. THANK YOU to all the developers and contributors.
My question is basic: how can I get a dark theme on Strawberry? I really don't like all the white color on this user interface. That is my >only< regret or desire.
Doable?
Please let me know.
Cheers

If you are using Strawberry in Linux I can probably help. You would need to install qt6ct, which is the Qt6 Configuration Tool, if it is not already installed in your system.
With this utility you can choose what themes, icons, fonts, etc., that you wish your Qt applications to follow. Strawberry is built using Qt6.
I use Linux Mint, which uses GTK as its graphical toolkit, so this is what I have to do, and it works very well. The app appears as "Qt6 Settings" in my application menu.
If your Strawberry is installed as a Flatpak, I don't think the above method would work. I use Strawberry installed as a system package.
If you are using Windows or Mac, sorry, I don't have any advice. Good luck!

@silver-sun thanks for the reply, my bad, I should have said that I only use GNU/Linux (I did not even know that Strawberry existed for Windows or Mac).
I don't have Qt6. I tried installing it and I got this:
sudo apt install qt6ct
[sudo] password for xxxxxx:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package qt6ct
also, my strawberry is flatpak, so there is that.
okay, thank you, you gave me somethign to work with!
Kind regards and all the best for 2026
