  • I've used Construct 3 for a looooong time and I've always been sort of critical of the game's UI. The default theme, which is what I've always used, feels simplistic and outdated.

    Yesterday, I switched to the built-in "dark" theme, but I get fewer event lines due to the way they are spaced. I noticed that there is a DARCSS theme available for sale in the store. Is anyone using it? Is it different/better than Construct's included dark theme?

  • No one got back to me, so I just went ahead and purchased the DARCSS theme. I haven't used it long, but it's definitely different from Construct's included "dark" theme. I like it so far!

    I have a few minor issues, but I love that it allows me to see more of my project at once! For example, I just opened a group and measured how much vertical space my events required:

    Default Theme: 716 pixels

    Dark Theme: 853 pixels

    DARCSS: 582 pixels

    This means I can see more of my "code" without having to scroll up and down!

    Dislikes So Far:

    - I'm sure I'll eventually get used to it, but some windows (like the animation editor) are really hard to distinguish from the background as they are nearly the same color.

    - This is minor but DARCSS uses red and green colored rectangles for anything that can be toggled true or false (i.e. whether a sprite is global or not). It's a neat feature, but now it's a bit harder for me to to change font or other colors as I used to just look for the colored rectangle. Now, there's a bunch of them!
