Turn on SOLIDWORKS Dark Mode

Did you know that SOLIDWORKS has a dark mode display setting? Using dark modes can help reduce glare, extend battery life, and ease eye strain by reducing blue light exposure. This is a great display option for working in low-light environments or into the evenings. Let’s explore the dark mode color settings in SOLIDWORKS.

In the System Options, select Colors, and you will find the Background settings.

Set the background to Dark and you’re ready to go! It's as simple as that.

While this dark mode in SOLIDWORKS is just the toolbar background setting, selecting one of the darker scenes will create the ultimate dark mode experience. Give this a try and let us know what you think!
