Noting that the Synthetica theme looks very good on a MacBook Pro. Are there plans to include any of the other variations?
AluOxide and BlackEye would be good options for late night, low light coding sessions!
Matt,
Synthetica offer a lot of variants and we're open for suggestions. I agree that a dark contrast theme would be nice and useful and will register your suggestion.

Re: Additional Synthetica themes?
After trying the Synthetica demos, the BlackEye theme may be too dark for coding, but AluOxide has a nice balanced set of tones, and looks professional as well.

Re: Additional Synthetica themes?
Thought I would bump this request one more time. Using DbVis in a late night session, and switching from a dark terminal (Solarized Dark) to bright DbVis is hard on the eyes.
Wishing for Synthetica AluOxide!

Re: Additional Synthetica themes?
I also want to bump this thread. Really wishing for Synthetica AluOxide in the next release.

Re: Additional Synthetica themes?
Is this being considered as a feature?
The current Synthetica Standard and Green Dream are very similar in overall brightness, and something softer would be a nice addition.

Matt,
These are the ones available for possible future inclusion:

Any specific you are interested in except for the black theme which we already have on the list?

Re: Additional Synthetica themes?
Roger,
By "black theme" I'm assuming you are referencing BlackEye, which would be most welcome as it would be a fully dark theme. As Steve mentioned, AluOxide would be a welcome addition as well as it looks very clean, but provides a nice middle ground for those who might want a slightly darker interface without going fully black.
I'm sure there could be votes for others, but after looking through all of the demos of what Synthetica offers, adding AluOxide and BlackEye would likely cover most of what people are looking for in terms of theme options.

Re: Additional Synthetica themes?
AluOxide looks to be a nice for a mid-toned theme - not too dark, not too light - my favorite of the bunch from their screenshots.

Re: Additional Synthetica themes?
They have some demos you can also download and experiment with that give you a decent feel for actual use.
For fun I tried manually putting some of them into the synthetica.jar file in a test install of DBVis and pointing the look and feel in the config file at it, but unfortunately it wasn't that easy. ;-)
Here's hoping we'll see these make it into a release in the near future, as it would be very welcome to those of us who have been patiently waiting for these or any other dark L&F to to be supported for quite some time. While not functional requests, the options would be very helpful for those of us who either prefer darker interfaces or who must use them due to other requirements (medical/vision, environmental, etc) where darker themes can be a significant improvement.

Re: Additional Synthetica themes?
Michael,
We're planning to add new L&Fs in the next (not 9.2) feature version.

Re: Additional Synthetica themes?
Roger,
That's good to hear! Just to make sure I'm not misunderstanding you, I am guessing by "next (not 9.2) feature version" you are meaning in the next release that contains enhancements as well as bug fixes (as many of your incremental updates do)?
Or do you mean the next point release (9.3, 10.0, etc) with significant features?
I ask simply because if it is the next point release, the point releases are regularly a year apart, so I would assume that would mean the new L&Fs would not be available until late 2015/early 2016, which would be disappointing. Of course, if you do mean that they will be in some smaller release in the couple of months or so, then that is very good news.

Re: Additional Synthetica themes?
Michael,
Next feature version is one of 9.3 or 10.0.
We've added new resources to the team and hopefully the next feature version will be completed faster than previous versions.
