As a Windows dark mode user, I prefer not to have a bright white top bar

47 votes

There doesn't seem to be a way to get rid of the white bar at the top of GitKraken when using dark mode in windows 10 and windows 11. It's an eyesore when all the rest of my apps use a pleasant dark top bar when dark mode is turned on.

This is much needed. I use Gitkraken on macos and Windows and this glaring issue on Windows just sucks. More upvotes!

The title bar is white regardless of the Windows 11 theme set by the user. It's white all the time.

For a cleaner theme, it would be great if you set the window title to black just like other windows.

As a workaround, Windows 10 itself can override the Title Bar color to match the Windows theme as desired. This works for GitKraken.

See Settings | Personalization | Colors | Title bars and window borders

I've set this to "Gray dark" which matches well Windows Dark theme and GitKraken Dark.

This is possible as of GitKraken Client 9.0.0. https://help.gitkraken.com/gitkraken-client/current/#version-9-0-0

If you are still seeing a light bar when in dark mode, be sure to check in Preferences -> UI Customization to set your theme accordingly!
