Hi,

Does Wordfast Pro on Linux support the dark theme, or comply with the system-wide dark theme?

Thanks

Piotr

Nope Oct 1, 2024

Answering my own question after running the linux trial. Nope, not available. A pity. I can't work with bright UI.

Hi, no Wf Pro can't do this yet.
In Wordfast Anywhere there is a beautiful dark theme (web-based CAT, works in your borowser). You can see it on the Wordfast TM Youtube Channel or on mine (but if you have a valid Wordfast License, you can access WFA directly). It's one of my favorite dark theme.

There is also a dark theme in Plus Tools (free tool), but I don't think you can run it on Linux in a Wine Bottle. I tried and failed on Mac.

Hope this helps.

Plus Tools? Jan 25

I also use Windows, and on Windows I need to use the magnifier to flip the colors of WF Pro, but it interferes with other apps which are already dark, so I need to go back and forth, which is cumbersome and a pain in the.....

Whare are Plus Tools you mention, do they work in connection with Wordfast Pro and do they enable a dark theme in WF Pro? Are they free or is there a price tag?


 
+Tools is free and non-commercial while at beta stage Jan 25

You have to use WINE on Linux. Download at http://wordfast.net/plustools/

Here's a screenshot from macOS.

Note that it's beta software and has a limited feature set.

Showstopper Jan 25

I can already see that +tools will not help me with jobs where the resources (TM, glossary) reside on the clients server.

 
More black Jan 25

Now the menu bar is black too:

If you work with people using Wordfast Server, yes, you can connect remote TM/Glo.

Bests,

Philippe

Can't download installer Feb 1

Still I can't even download the installer, well it downloads a very small setup.exe which fails to run on Windows.
I guess it is my ISP not liking the fact that there is a certificate mismatch for wordfast.net and blocking things that look fishy to it.
I won't blame them, because I pay them to protect my devices from fishy things.
