I'm using Fiddler in a dark theme. But there are a few colors I wasn't able to change.

 - Color of some blue entries (not sure what differentiates them)
 - Color of hex editor text in request
 - Color of hex editor text in response

Image attached. Please tell me how to customize these colors.

Hi, Ram--

Unfortunately, these colors are not presently customizable.

Sessions in the WebSessions list are blue when they have a HTML response content-type.

Thanks Eric.

I hope you'll take the time to go over the interface and make all colors customizable. (No need for a settings dialog, using QuickExec to change them is good enough, as long as there's a list of all color names somewhere.) The colors as they are make my eyes hurt when using Fiddler.


Thanks,
Ram.

Here's to hoping for a Fiddler "Dark Theme" in the near future! That'd be a great improvement to such a useful tool. Our eyes would thank you :)!

A general theming system is unlikely to appear but the next version under development (4.6.0.4) does offer more configurability of colors that might be limiting you today.


// Add "fiddler.inspectors.RequestHexView.HeaderColor" and "fiddler.inspectors.ResponseHexView.HeaderColor"
// Add "fiddler.ui.Colors.IsHTML" "fiddler.ui.Colors.IsScript" "fiddler.ui.Colors.IsAuth" "fiddler.ui.Colors.LoadedFromSAZ"

Hi,

 

any progress with this issue?

Dark theme is much better for the eyes.

 

Thx

Indeed Just having the application conform to High Contrast black mode in Win10 would greatly eleviate my eye strain.

Still holding out hope that we'll get a slick dark theme for fiddler someday!

I don't understand how such a popular dev tool such as Fiddler doesn't have a dark theme option.  Come on Telerik. Get with it.
