Hi,

Does Wordfast Pro on Linux support the dark theme, or comply with the system-wide dark theme?

Thanks

Piotr

Nope Oct 1, 2024

Answering my own question after running the linux trial. Nope, not available. A pity. I can't work with bright UI.

Hi, no Wf Pro can't do this yet.
In Wordfast Anywhere there is a beautiful dark theme (web-based CAT, works in your borowser). You can see it on the Wordfast TM Youtube Channel or on mine (but if you have a valid Wordfast License, you can access WFA directly). It's one of my favorite dark theme.

There is also a dark theme in Plus Tools (free tool), but I don't think you can run it on Linux in a Wine Bottle. I tried and failed on Mac.

Hope this helps.

Plus Tools? Jan 25

I also use Windows, and on Windows I need to use the magnifier to flip the colors of WF Pro, but it interferes with other apps which are already dark, so I need to go back and forth, which is cumbersome and a pain in the.....

Whare are Plus Tools you mention, do they work in connection with Wordfast Pro and do they enable a dark theme in WF Pro? Are they free or is there a price tag?

+Tools is free and non-commercial while at beta stage Jan 25

You have to use WINE on Linux. Download at http://wordfast.net/plustools/

Here's a screenshot from macOS.

Note that it's beta software and has a limited feature set.

Showstopper Jan 25

I can already see that +tools will not help me with jobs where the resources (TM, glossary) reside on the clients server.

If you work with people using Wordfast Server, yes, you can connect remote TM/Glo.

Bests,

Philippe

Can't download installer Feb 1

Still I can't even download the installer, well it downloads a very small setup.exe which fails to run on Windows.
I guess it is my ISP not liking the fact that there is a certificate mismatch for wordfast.net and blocking things that look fishy to it.
I won't blame them, because I pay them to protect my devices from fishy things.
