Dark mode for the new launcher please.

[Raltar]

I'd prefer a dark mode or for it to stay the same, but I see it all of 3 seconds when I log in, so I'm not going to be upset if they don't.

More than that, it's basically a slightly retweaked version of FFXIV 1.0's original launcher, only with a few more bells and whistles. But the overall theme and arrangement of icons is the more or less the same. I wonder though, why the launcher is being changed in the first place? Was there complaints about the ARR launcher?

As it seems rather odd that the launcher is being altered when I didn't really think there was anything that wrong with it.

They could be decoupling it from internet explorer.

That part causes issues frequently I know. Have had to direct many to reset ie to fix launcher issues.

How long does it take you to log in that you need a dark mode?

I take it you haven't witnessed the mass eye squinting that Amnesia: The Dark Descent caused. Moments of light that were maybe 3-4 seconds at most, but OH GOD MY EEEEYES.

Oh I know all about that only too well, so that does make sense. Still, I guess I'm so used to the ARR one now it's going to be a shock getting used to the new (old?) one. Ah well, I'll manage.

My eyes must be stupid cause dark modes cause my eyes more issues then light modes. Then again everything in my house is dark cause I shut out all sunlight in my house. So the only light I see is from my tv. So the light modes in the game don't cause issues oddly enough. Plus it's new and I like new things.

I don't really want my eyes to melt when it's dark in my room and I start the launcher.

It could be entirely transparent for all I care. As long as it still lacks the ability to remember my password (on PC), it remains a subpar launcher.

And no game that I launch from Steam should even force me to go through its own launcher to begin with *rant rant rant*

Steam is just a storefront. It's not going to store usernames or passwords for third party applications.

Rather large security risk there.

I'm fine with it not storing my password.

Just saw the new launcher and tried to find a way to make it dark, is there a way and I'm missing it? Disappointed that they didn't take this feedback into account.

I don't think so, but you can still for now use the old launcher. I suggest you do just because the new launcher is so bad that it doesn't even show patch download progress. You can't even tell if you are downloading a patch.
