I like the dark theme, but I am not at all thrilled with the backgrounds.

When I selected the dark theme, it automatically selected a background, of which there are only two. Dark blue, or dark blue. (not impressed)

Since I am not able to unselect a background, my suggestion would be to add a third choice for background. Dark. To match the theme . 

While I like the function of the product, I hate having to look at it....

You mentioned this request in the past.

https://forums.malwarebytes.com/topic/109639-themes-for-malwarebytes/?do=findComment&comment=1395522

Most, At least the Premium users hardly open Malwarebytes and just let it run in the background.

It took years to get what we have now.

But you suggestion will past on the the developers again.

For the most part, the only time I open mine is to get a screenshot to assist users here on the forum. Everything else is on autopilot.

That's fine. And I'm sure that suits you well, but you can't expect every user to live out their lives by your design.  My request is valid whether you find it agreeable or not.  I'm well within my rights as a long time member and supporter to ask for a minor addition.

[Porthos]

There is not anything wrong with the request or that is not a good one. Just saying you and others have made the same request a year ago. Just saying it is most likely not a high priority issue. The request will be passed on again as I said. It took over 10 years to get the options we have now. I like everything in dark mode myself as well so I can understand.

I believe that branding also plays a large role here (the same reason Microsoft does not allow any sort of custom themes which modify the basic look of the Windows shell, START menu, taskbar and other basic elements except for the limited controls provided within the OS and registry by default) since Malwarebytes uses dark blue and other shades of blue throughout their products and websites.  The icon is blue, the UI is blue, the website is blue, and of course the forums are blue.

While I am generally all for customization (I'm the type to mod core system files with a resource hacker/hex editor just to have my own Windows shell look different/the way that I want), I could understand why Malwarebytes would decide not to offer certain options, especially where color is concerned since, as mentioned, that blue is a major component of their branding.  Frankly though, I would not be opposed to them at least offering some additional options just for the sake of more user customization beyond the two we already have (both of which I personally like, but I'm a big fan of blue too) so if they did offer additional backgrounds/options I would be glad to see it and I'd be anxious to try them out.
