With 5.2 for W11 it uses the dark theme with no option to change to light.
There are some UI issues with the dark theme.
I changed the compatibility mode for kmymoney to Windows 8. It now runs with a light theme.
Are the any possible issues with doing this?
Maybe, this post gives you some ideas what to add when starting the application on Windows.
Does adding -platform windows:darkmode=1 as argument to KMyMoney upon start is of help as pointed out in this bug report.
After a recent upgrade to the Windows11 âMaster-4646â version I also encountered issues with the colour scheme.
When I opened up a transaction via the Ledger the background colour was a dark blue and made it difficult to read the data within the fields (like Date, Payer/Payee, Category etc).
I did try the option of adding -platform windows:darkmode=1 as argument to KMyMoney but found that it made no difference.
I have found a suitable workaround ( at least for me ), is to adjust the colour settings in Windows.
Go to Windows Settings â Personalization â Colors
Choose Accent Color ⌠Set to Manual and select a Color from the palette shown.
I choose âSeafoamâ, a light Teal colour which makes the data now stand out and readable.
Other people might prefer something different ( there are about 40 colours to choose from )
Thank you @Sundown - I have the same problem. I like the darker Accent Color color in my Windows theme because thatâs the color that shows in my window title bars. But KMyMoney is using it as the background color on the Ledger entry form and itâs too dark. Minor problem in the scheme of things and at least there is an easy workaround. Thanks again.
In case it helps my workaround, for what I suspect may be the issue here, is in Windows 11 is to run kmymoney 5.2.1 in Windows Compatibility mode for âWindows 7â or âWindows 8â.
