Hey developers.
I have a more general question.
As a visual impaired person, I struggle much with bright background (it hurts my eyes) and small fonts, weak contrast and too smillar colors.
Is there any plan on the horizon to develop a dark-mode for IGV?
I am currently using it on my ubuntu system.

Thanks a lot!
Kindly
Tom

Hi Tom,

This was recently requested by another user via GitHub. Please see the discussion thread here: https://github.com/igvteam/igv/issues/1700
Implementing a proper dark mode for IGV is a large development task for our small team and will take significant time. However, we do recognize its importance and we will look into it.
