Frequently asked questions

Is Dark Mode GUI a mod or a texture pack? Do I need a mod loader?
It is a resource pack, so you do not need any mod loader. It only swaps the menu textures for darker ones and does not change gameplay.
How do I turn on Dark Mode GUI?
On Java, open Options > Resource Packs and move the pack from the available list to the selected list. On Bedrock, open Settings > Global Resources and activate it there. Then open your inventory to confirm the background is dark.
Which menus does Dark Mode GUI change?
It darkens the main interface, the player and creative inventories, the Crafting Table, Chest, Furnace and Enchanting Table screens, and the advancements screen. Open each one once to check the dark style is applied everywhere.
Why are some of my menus still bright after turning it on?
Another resource pack placed above Dark Mode GUI is probably overriding those screens. Move Dark Mode GUI to the top of your selected packs so its menu textures load last. Screens added by other mods may also stay bright if the pack does not include textures for them.
