Is it possible to change to dark theme in SAS Studio?

[Nietzsche]

Hi guys

I am curious is it possible to change to dark them in SAS studio?

[BrianGaines]

Hi @Nietzsche,

Which version of SAS Studio are you using?

Newer versions of SAS Studio on SAS Viya do have a dark theme. If you click your username in the upper-right corner to access the Application options --> Settings --> General --> Theme --> Choose a theme --> select either "Ignite" or "Dark" as the theme.

I am not sure if this was available in earlier versions of SAS Studio (such as the 3.x series) but I will try to check.

Best,

-Brian

Hi Brian

Thank you for the fast reply.

Do you have a Theme Setting option in your version or not as described by @BrianGaines ?

Not available in On Demand. Could try the Chrome settings but I haven't bothered.

Edit: Dark theme is supported in SAS Studio within SAS Viya 4, but not in older versions (v3.81 is part of SAS 9.4, and that's what drives SAS OnDemand for Academics).

[Nietzsche]

thanks for the confirmation.

Hopefully SAS will release a dark theme for SAS OnDemand soon in the future.

Hi, Brian 

I am very interested in the topic. My company installed 3.81 (basic version) SAS Studio, and I couldn't find Theme related option. In PC SAS base or SAS EG, I always set a dark background which is very comfortable for coding operations.  

Is there any way that I could do the same for this SAS Studio(v3.81)?  Since SAS Studio works in a browser, could we reset the browser to realize the "Dark Studio " interface?

Thanks

Don

I've created a dark theme for SAS Studio versions 3.8, 3.81, and 3.82. I also created a new light theme that's not too bright. They work via the Stylus browser extension, available for Chrome, Edge, and Firefox.

Here's a screenshot of the dark theme:

I'm not able to test if the themes work for SAS OnDemand for Academics (SOA), but if SOA runs on SAS Studio 3.81, then there's a decent chance it will work.

I created a separate post about my themes with installation instructions here:

And the themes themselves live in my github repo here:
