Dark mode / Light mode (Automatic)
Now that macOS support a real light/dark mode, it would be really nice to have this option enabled automatically in any Adobe products when I switch from light to dark and vice versa in my system preferences.
It would be even cooler if you added an option to change the interface automatically depending on the time of the day.

Please join the rest of the software development world in supporting a unified dark mode experience on Windows 11. The menus are currently glaringly bright with dark mode enabled and affect color perception. In a design app , this is not good. Please note that Adobe Acrobat already supports this, why doesn't this capability extend to Creative Suite Apps?

It is dark for me. Can you provide a screenshot of how it looks for you?

The existing title bar is white, enabling dark title bar will help us get a more unified UI.
The Technology Path
Since Windows 10 1809, Microsoft has provided an API for modifying only the color of the window title bar.
The method reference is
stackoverflow.com/questions/39261826/change-the-color-of-the-title-bar-caption-of-a-win32-applicatio...Documentation see
docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/dwmapi/ne-dwmapi-dwmwindowattribute 3At the same time, this API does not affect compatibility with older versions, and on Windows 7 or earlier versions of Windows, the API will not work and will not cause strange errors.

Illustrator 25.0.1

The Open, Export, Save As, and Place dialogue menus are not in dark when using the dark theme. -

PLEASE MAKE THIS HAPPEN. As a designer it's really frustrating watching my adobe windows look out of sync with the rest of the OS. Cosmetics matter with creative software!

This would be a great feature. In addition, macOS Catalina now includes an 'Auto' option for light/dark mode.

The Mac version of Illustrator has a much darker theme, and switching to the Windows version was a bit jarring, but I prefer the darkness. Could you tweak the darkest theme on Windows to make it look more like the Mac one? Match the background color in dialogs, menus, etc.
