# Does Storage Studio support Dark Mode?

No — Storage Studio always uses a light appearance and doesn't follow your Mac's Dark Mode. That's deliberate, so every screen looks consistent and readable.

The rest of your Mac still switches to dark as normal; only Storage Studio's own windows stay light.
