Hi Team,
Long time user of the last free version of NetScan. Recently convinced our business to purchase licences. Love it! Keep up the good work
NetScan is one of the last programs I use that doesn't have a DarkMode option. Any chance of adding one please?
I know I can change the colours of the scan results and can achieve a faux dark mode that way, but that is sub-par, as:
a) the GUI elements are still bright white - a garish reminder of the lack of a true DarkMode.
b) the column headers disappear (white on white) if I set my scan results text to White.
... Next best compromise is Silver, but that still leaves results (and column headers) hard-ish to read.
Cheers,
Mick

Yes, I've noticed the application does not support its own theming, hence the feature request
Actually not even its own theming... I'm suggesting NetScan should simply honour the Windows 10 system setting of Light or Dark
[ Settings > Personalisation > Colours > Choose your Colour: Light / Dark ]
Many apps do, and I think it would be excellent if NetScan did too.

Well for just a couple of the reasons I listed above, I believe it is important or useful
If the idea of this app ever supporting Windows' dark mode is too fanciful...
Can we please at the very least make the Column Headers just use the same font colour as the rest of the program menus, toolbars, etc. ie Black.
I can't think of any reason why they need to change with the scan results font colour (under Options, View, Font Colour).
But as mentioned in my original post, given they do change with the above setting, I'm forced to use Silver for font colour, as setting it to White makes the column header text disappear.
Silver makes everything less readable, eg:

That we can do. Simply download the latest build and you should be able to set different fonts to the column headers and data rows.
