    Simple poll people. Who wants a Dark Mode for the menu and UI in TSW7? Could still be implemented before launch, as it's only cosmetic, but I'm getting blinded by the stream.

    Btw. would appreciate a Dark Mode for this very forum as well.

    +1 for this suggestion, I almost went blind watching the preview stream. It burnt my cataracts out

    Yep 100% yes. Also the UI is all over the place with inconsistent colours everywhere it's like a 5 year old made it

    Generally I don't mind what DTG have done with the menu but it absolutely needs a dark mode and some polish - the colours and font aren't consistent and half the time aren't even readable (eg light text on white background)

    Yes, please. It doesn't have to be completely dark. A medium gray will do.

    For those who can't watch the stream for whatever reason...here's a few random shots of the TSW7 UI

    It looks good on your screenshots. During the stream, it felt like looking at snow on a clear afternoon.
    Did you darken the first screenshot or something?

    Also can you please return white color to the instruction and the distance? Because yellow distract your attention, like you're start speeding.

    Are the pictures of the 3 new route placeholder? They look horrible. Where is the colour in the background?

    They were just crudely taken using snipping tool from the Youtube feed. The screen may have been fading out when I timed the shot.

    I agree - it looks like they just bunged it in instead of trying to make it fit into the UI. Something as simple as reducing the width of the buttons so they fit in a line would do.

    +1 for dark mode and making Freight Hauler fit more organically.

    Otherwise i think it's fine.

    +1 for dark mode! I am over 70 , and my pork pies are not as good as they once were. A dark mode would help immensely.

    The pause menu is worse who thought white writing on a white background was a good idea.
