Dark mode theme for STM32CubeMX

[whitehorsesoft]

With the recent split of STM32CubeIDE and STM32CubeMX, I'd like to propose a dark mode option be added to STM32CubeMX.

In consideration of the competing priorities for STM's software development team, I have two suggestions for how this proposal could be implemented:

1. The first suggestion is the typical route: STM's in-house software development team add the UI theming and inputs to switch between dark and light mode.
2. The second suggestion is less typical: make STM32CubeMX open source and let the larger software community assist with adding dark mode. Perhaps the source could be placed alongside other repositories in STM's current GitHub account.

...The benefits of adding such an option would be as follows:

• Consistency with STM32CubeIDE, from which STM32CubeMX was split from (STM32CubeIDE already has a dark mode)
• Consistency with the vast majority of other software in the industry
• Consistency with what has become a common user experience across operating systems, browsers, and setups in general for any segment of STM's customer base

Overall, this style change would involve no functional change to the software and would enhance STM's professional image.

Opening an internal ticket is not a solution.
There are many issues marked as “resolved by opening a ticket” that have been on ASAP for years.

Hello @padawan 

We fully understand that opening an internal ticket is not a solution in itself. However, it ensures that the issue is formally identified, tracked, and assigned for investigation. Marking it as the current resolution also helps make the topic visible in search results, so users know it has already been recognized and is being worked on.

We also understand the frustration when some topics remain open for an extended period. In some cases, resolution may take longer due to prioritization, technical complexity, or dependencies across teams.

Please keep in mind that we remain actively committed to improving the product and making it more useful for our users.

The forum really needs a separate mark to indicate this!
