      Would you please add a theme with dark colors? Working with the text based interface with a white background is not easy. A theme with dark colors, would make the interface much easier on the eyes.

            Hi team,

            I've already updated Source Tree to the latest version 4.0.1 and I think I got a problem when changing Dark color theme.

            the issue is here, I cannot change back to Light mode.

            Please help me to check this.

            Thanks

            I've had a look and tried out the new SourceTree Dark theme after downloading the beta (3.2.0)

            SourceTree Betas Page:

            https://bitbucket.org/atlassianlabs/sourcetree-betas/downloads/

            The new Dark Theme looks excellent, and I'm very happy with the way its hoping to turn out.

            Thanks to everyone involved who helped this along, much appreciated!

            The way to change color scheme in CSS-like way will be great and simle.

            I am 100% sure you cannot please everyone with color choices. Let's settle for what they give and perhaps some config instructions on how to change them. We should all know how to edit things... throw at us XML, JSON or even Regedit hives. We are all coders, we will all deal.

            I have to disagree with @Benjamin and @Kjell on their suggestions. 

            The dark theme does not need any color changes. It is perfect. Kjell color suggestion is absolutely repulsing.

            I would like to give more details about what I did in my proposal, I would like to join these to Kjell Inge Hestad suggestion.

            The main problem with the current design is the excessive contrast (Kjell Inge Hestad and Guney Ozsan agree about this), it's dark, but there are too bright elements on it.

            I changed the blue bar on the top to a dark gray keeping the original color for the Sourcetree logo only, I also changed the main toolbar (and some others horizontal bars) for a dark gray.

            Text was too bright, so I changed all the white text for a light gray.

            The selected rows were very bright, I changed them for a darker blue, also changed the bodred of the selected files to a light blue.

            I like Kjell Inge Hestad suggestion about changing the unselected tabs to match the dark background.

            As-is, it's nice and it's usable. Of course everyone would like it to match their favorite Notepad++ theme or other IDE theme. Rather than everyone suggesting color tweaks, they could just have user selectable colors. If they convert the icons to svg, we could even select them.

            I do think it is strange that there is so much variation in the icons. The Commit to Tag icons use different color schemes from the Git-Flow to Settings Icons and the left bar Icons (Workspace, Branches, Remotes, and Stashes). Even the Open in Explorer button under the "Nothing to Commit" message is different. The various dropdowns and check boxes in the UI and menus are yet another scheme. Even with user selectable colors, I don't want to have to pick 900 colors, so unifying the color scheme of various parts would be preferred.
