You could poke yourself in the eyes, it has a similar effect to dark mode.

I got it in dark mode but all my sub menus are still white. I cant see any of the options to click on? How can you fix this?

Maybe you computer also needs to be in Dark Mode.

To get Bambu Studio to display in the correct dark mode, you need to set the GTK_THEME environment variable to Adwaita:dark. Here’s how you can do it:

  1. Set the Environment Variable:

    • Before launching Bambu Studio, you need to set the GTK_THEME variable to Adwaita:dark. This ensures that the application starts in dark mode.

    You can set this in the terminal like this:

    export GTK_THEME=Adwaita:dark
    ./bambu_studio
    

    This will start Bambu Studio with the dark theme.

  2. For KDE Plasma:

    • If you’re using KDE Plasma, you can set this environment variable directly in the application launcher.

    • Right-click on the Bambu Studio application in the KDE Plasma launcher, then select Edit Application.

    • In the Environment Variables section, add a new variable:

      GTK_THEME=Adwaita:dark
      
    • After adding this, whenever you launch Bambu Studio from the application launcher, it will automatically open in dark mode.

By doing this, Bambu Studio will start with the proper dark theme without any additional configuration after the initial setup.
