Answer 1

Just to clarify @Michal's answer, starting from 9.3 you can use dark mode along with pdi basically.

Since I have to switched to light mode to indicate the right position, there is a step by step for blind touching like me.

Preferences -> Second tab (Look & Feel) -> Use look of OS (3rd row from bottom)

me on linux: Tools -> Options -> Look & Feel -> Use look of OS – Entablement

It works, but after restarting my computer, the Pentaho GUI switches back to light mode. Any ideas? – Bazluke

Just found out the answer. Dont put your mac's appearance to dark mode. When i change it back to light mode, all texts in pdi became black. Just close pentaho and open again after changing to light mode.

In version 9.3, there is a checkbox Use look of OS (3rd row from bottom, 2nd checkbox from bottom - for those, who are lazy to switch to dark mode) in Preferences - Look & Feel. After checking it, you can still use Dark mode in OS with black texts in PDI.
