Unable to turn dark mode on #preferences

 

Hi all,
I recently started to use JMRI and I can control my trains just fine, but I would like to set de display to dark mode.
My system info:
A raspberry pi 4 running on raspberry pi OS bookworm, JMRI version 5.10 and JAVA version 17.

I read on the JMRI page that dark mode has been implemented some versions back already, but I've been unable to find the button mentioned on jmri.org
The following was mentioned on jmri.org:
There's a new "DarkLAF HC" dark-mode setting for the display. To use it, select Settings then Display, then click the button for "DarkLAF HC".
When I go to the settings and select display there is no button for DarkLAF HC, I added a screenshot of this.
Anyone an idea what's going wrong? Am I in the wrong menu or is something else wrong?

AFAIK, Dark mode was only added 2 weeks ago and has not been released yet. It would be in the next test and Production releases.
You could download an unreleased build at to see if that meets your expectations

Didn't realize darkmode was a thing! Would love to enable it myself too.

Ok, it has me confused a little but if the 5.11 test version has it I can give that one a try.
To complete the reason why I thought it already was implemented was because I saw the dark mode used on the JMRI.org webpage already, for example these 2 places:

The images in these 2 links are in the dark mode.
The mentioning of the dark-mode was in the release notes of the 5.9.7, I assumed it was part of all releases after that but it seems I was wrong.
I'll go give the 5.11 a try soon.

5.11.5 will have it (it should be released in a week or so) or you can wait until 5.12 to be released sometime around June.

That mention in 5.9.7 is a mistake and I will pass it on to be fixed

Oops. Having it in the 5.9.7 release note was my mistake. Sorry. Being fixed now.
