[Feature Request] Augmented Series Dark Mode request

They really need to do something about the AUGMENTED interfaces. Not only darkmode. But it is getting really messy. i mean… that yellow on that light grey?:

They put an advert on FB publicising their Augmented series and I couldn’t resist to post a response saying that over here on the official forum we’ve been requesting dark mode for over three years, and it just seems to be in the backlog of a Jira board forever.

All we’ve ever had is ackowledgement in July 2023 that it’s been added as a feature request.

Their interfaces are not at all helpful for people with colour-differentation issues. They are in clear breach of WCAG 2.2 guidelines, for no justifiable reason at all, considering these are bespoke apps that aren’t purposefully mimicking the design of vintage hardware.

Although WCAG is to help direct the design of web content not downloadable apps, it takes a special kind of ignorance to design an app that completely breaches the guidelines…

In NI Komplete Kontrol or Kontakt and on corresponding screen of NI KKS it’s still impossibile to read the current preset written in white on quite white background… Arturia certainly expects we remember all of them :wink:

I just filled out my customer response questionnaire for Augmented Persia, if they read it they will hear about illegible text contrast and dark mode again… :smile_cat:

The more people officially bring it to their attention the more likely it will get remediated.

This thread is early 3 years old now and still no dark mode.

I seriously doubt we are ever going to see a dark mode in any Augmented series (and all other Arturia plugins that blind us with science).
