Hi, I like dark themes so I have modified DO to look like the Linux Mint Cinnamon dark theme. There are some element colours that I have not been able to change. Is it possible to change these elements shown below. Overall look so far: ![](https://resource.dopus.com/uploads/default/original/3X/6/7/678d3aea87a227a2fc928ef686958f44b9586fb0.png) 1. Is it possible to remove the white border around the menu? 2. Change the text colour and background of the lister toolbar. ![](https://resource.dopus.com/uploads/default/original/3X/7/e/7ebcf2f6a665c504728da4a26d5edf3b7976ce09.png) 3. Change the white line above the status bar. Thanks Surfrat. ---

None are currently changeable, unless you change your Windows theme (which is where they all come from). We're keeping a list of 'dark theme issues' to improve things in this area in the future, so please report any other issues that you find. ---

Added a theme file (.dlt) for those that want to try it. Please make a full backup of your config before trying it.

Please make a new post in the themes section. This thread has how-to questions at the top which people looking for themes won't want to wade through. ---

As discussed [here](https://resource.dopus.com/t/improve-visibility-of-currently-selected-button/26525), the currently selected toolbar button (without needed to switch to office 2003 style). Perhaps we should rename this thread to make it easier to find. ---
