Hi @drelarch , Vectorworks 2025 is not yet officially supported but will be with our next upcoming service pack in around a week. Feel free to stay tuned for further news in that regard, I’ll also notify you once more after 4.1.1 has come out including support for VW 25. ---

Demian I just tried to install Enscape with Vectorworks 2025 and it doesn’t seem to be working. Is it still not supported? ---

I have the latest (4.1.1) version of Enscape working fine with VW2025. I have in the past occasionally had to completely uninstall any previous version of Enscape, then reinstall it, and you’ll then find it appears on the VW menu for Tools \> Third Party and you can then add the Enscape pallette. ---

I can see I’m going to have to forgo subtlety and simply come out and say it:- “please can you make your icons visible in VW2025 dark mode”. There, I’ve done it. ---

Hi @PhilBixby , this should actually already be available - Just in case you haven’t yet, when using Windows 10 you can manually enable this via _Tools → Options → VW Preferences → General → Appearance._ If you are using Windows 11 and have already set your _main theme to dark mode_ then It should automatically sync with VW alongside. You may have to restart your machine and/or VW though in order for this to work as expected though. ---

Hi Demian VW2025 dark mode works fine - I run Windows 11 in light mode but CAD can be better using dark mode - the problem is just that the Enscape icons virtually vanish in dark mode, whereas the VW native icons have been designed to work in both modes - attached image makes this clear, hopefully… ![Screenshot 2024-10-28 170159.jpg](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/chaosprd/original/3X/8/f/8fd95b91c7aeb451362d66a845d4ca71da2d69dc.jpeg)
