Matlab dark mode feature is a different experience for those who use the Matlab interface. Matlab is a programming language launched in the late 1970s. Dark mode or dark theme is a current trending and yet useful theme for all the night owls. Many people prefer the dark theme to prevent visual fatigue, blue light, and other issues. Matlab doesn’t let you enable into dark mode by default but there is a method we’ll show you how in a simpler manner.
Matlab is a programming platform specially designed for engineers and scientists by MathWorks. It is a matrix-based language allowing the most natural expression of computational mathematics. Matlab has a wide range of capabilities to explore analyze data, create scripts, functions, and classes, build apps, language interfaces, parallel computing, and cloud environment. Matlab originated in the year 1980.
Features of Matlab
#1 Matlab has a wide range of features that are mostly used by engineers, scientists, and economists. It consists of comprehensive collections of Matlab functions, control systems, toolboxes, etc.
#2 Matlab consists of five main parts that are the Matlab Language, the Matlab Working Environment, Handle Graphics, Matlab Mathematical Function Library, and Matlab Application Program Interface(API).
#3 It can call functions and subroutines written in the programming languages C and Fortran and also libraries are written in Perl, Java, ActiveX, or .Net can be directly called from Matlab.
#4 Apart from this, you can use Matlab to analyze data, develop algorithms, and create models and applications. This Matlab program is also useful for embedded devices that are integrated with Simulink and model-based designs.
Enable Dark Mode on Matlab [Method 1]
1: Launch Matlab software on your PC or laptop.
2: You’ll see the light theme in the coding terminal by default.
3: Navigate to the top menu, and select Home tab > Preferences.
4: In the left pane, choose the Colors section.
5: Uncheck the box of Use system colors.
6: Next, you can change the colors as you desired on the below-given options one by one.
7: Now, here we’ll show you how to change into a dark theme manually by changing the text color to white and the background color to black.
8: Head to Programming Tools then change the Highlight section’s color to black.
9: Click OK and then Apply to experience the dark theme on Matlab.
Here we’ve shown you the most simple manual method to change into a dark theme but there is another new method to change into the dark theme on Matlab let’s check out this.

Use Matlab Theme Import Tool [Method 2]
By using Matlab schemer you can change the Matlab interface into the complete dark theme.
1: Download the compressed package of Matlab schemer.
2: Unzip to access the files and open Matlab now run the schemer_import.m.
3: Now, choose your favorite theme file (.prf).
4: Open the selected theme file and restart the Matlab software in a few minutes you can view the whole Matlab interface changed into the dark theme.
In this way, you can access the Matlab on a dark theme now our guide on Matlab dark mode is wrapped up here. In the near future, Matlab releases a few updates for dark themes in a much simpler way or it might be any updates. Such updates are related to any files or programs so keep an eye on those updates.
