<p class="MsoNormal"> That is cool! Seems like something that should be built into ChimeraX. If it is ok with you we could put it in the standard distribution and of course credit you for creating it. For the Log and other html ChimeraX panels (e.g. help
viewer) I guess the trouble is related to Qt's way of rendering html using a separate process for each html widget and rendered with Chromium. It is probably not using your style sheet, and could be tricky to make arbitrary html content (e.g. shown in help
viewer) have a dark theme. ChimeraX has an html widget class in chimerax.ui.widgets.htmlview, and maybe it is possible to set a style sheet. Of course web pages could override your style sheet by setting explicit background color.<o:p></o:p></p>

Dear ChimeraX Developers Team,<br>
<br>
Do you have in your features list an dark or black GUI theme? <br>
I understand that stylistic features have lover priority than a really useful ones, but during many hours of work every day in ChimeraX white GUI eyes getting tired especially at late hours and especially when it contrasts with dark interface of the rest of
the system and other dark themed software. <br>
I really looking forward to see a dark theme feature in future updates.<br>
<br>
Respectfully yours,<br>
Valentyn Petrychenko<br>
