Many SW-Tool providers have realized that how comfortable it is for a programmeruser to work with dark backgrounds. Microsoft did it in 2013 for visual studio and now browser companies are doing the same. Unfortunately, I can Change background color of MAX and TestStand. This makes longer working painful for eyes.
An example of such a bakground is attached with the message.
Hello, today the same crave for Dark Mode came to me while working with TestStand 2020 and found existing solution that is good enough to compete with the upper one without the need to introduce 3rd party software.
Simply enable the Color filters shortcut ( and optionally select your preferred Color settings for the bars to recreate the results from the NegativeScreen app).
It's absolutely enough for me. I'm in love with that TestStand look... It's time to #EngineerAmbitiously now! Cheers!
Another hack I found is to use an application called WindowTop (most of the features I am not interested in, but it does allow you to set individual windows to inverted colors, instead of affecting everything)
