I read [this post from last week](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/ignition-designer-8-0-where-is-a-dark-themes/30599/7), and this is actually something that I was able to throw together myself using the method I developed [here](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/component-scripting-window-default-size/68548/16) to automatically add the option to the designer's View dropdown when I open the designer.

I know there is a large demand for this, so if IA hasn't done anything on their end by 8.3, perhaps I'll clean this up, stress test it across the common modules, and offer it on the exchange. For now, I just wanted to point out that this simple cosmetic stuff is something that can easily be manipulated on our end.
