Now I can use this function：ResourceFunction["DarkMode"][] to use the dark mode, but when I turn on Mathematica again, the black mode will not work. How can I set to use the black mode permanently.

  • $\begingroup$ The above mode can not be good for your eyes. I would use it with caution. $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ @HenrikSchumacher If you go to Format -> StyleSheet Default will be unselected...selecting this again will ask to destroy current settings, and will revert to default stylesheet. $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ @morbo Dark themes can put more strain on your eyes in high-light conditions, since it washes out the text. 100% contrast (white text on a black background) is typically harder to read and may cause more eye strain If you google the subject you could see about this. I can't handle black or dark background on computer screen, it leaves spots in my eyes and makes it hard to look at for long time. May be for younger people it is ok. I prefer light theme. light white background and black text. $\endgroup$

Reset to default

You can change the default stylesheet as follows:

  1. Go to menu: Format > Options Inspector

  2. Set the scope dropdown menu to "Global Preferences"

  3. Download the stylesheet notebook of ResourceFunction@"DarkMode" from here.

  4. Set the DefaultStyleDefinitions path to wherever you saved the notebook.

  1. Now when you do File > New (cmd + n), you will have what you want.

Notes:

  • To undo this change simply set DefaultStyleDefinitions back to "Default.nb".
