Dark mode for the new launcher please.

Apart from the fact that the new Launcher does not look good. The Virtual Keyboard has gone too.

For those on pc, simply click the gear on the upper right of the launcher. The last option is to change back to the old dark launcher.

For everyone else, go into your config on the launcher and set it to the old one.

I haven't seen a way to switch back on PS4 so seems to be only for PC

Its daytime with the sun out here with curtains open and it still hurts my eyes

Edit: this is the reason i like dark modes, i'm fine with light modes for those that want them but i can't handle them for more than a few mins tops so i would like an inverse color scheme that is all.

Eye sensitivity is a thing that can happen regardless of how well lit your monitors or your room happen to be. My monitors are all set to 0 brightness and contrast and bright shades can still hurt my eyes if I stare at it for too long. Mind the new launcher it's not as bad as pure FFFFFF white, that honor goes to redesigned Twitch which was immediately switched over to Dark Mode to keep a migraine from developing, but having launcher options for personal comfort isn't asking all that much. It's pretty standard practice these days.

also dark mode for the forums pls

I was thinking the exact same thing. Please, dark mode for launcher.

Not really a big deal, you have the launcher open for a few seconds anyway before logging in.

Maybe because it was more clunky. GW2's launcher is smoother and way more modern and it came out in 2012.

It's like with a high beam of an oncoming car after a curve. Shots up quick and your eyes have to respond to the sudden high brightness. :D

Because the issue comes with only launcher that will be barely 10s up, I have to adjust the whole surrounding to counter the 10s-spotlight? When your lamp burns out, do you switch on all other light sources in the entire room instead of changing the one light bulb?

Some people like the light theme and thats ok, but for those of us who dont... Please give us a dark theme ASAP. its really bright
