I use Dark Theme which came with eM Client (Windows 10). When I switch between emails, part of layout which displays email body (on bottom square) flickers white before it goes to dark to match the theme. This is painful on the eyes as I do this 50-100 times per day and this flickering is very hurtful. Any ideas how to stop it?

Hi @stever1717
When did this start?
What version of eMC are you using?
What is the spec of your computer?
How much RAM?
HDD or SSD?

Hello @skybat! Started when I switched to Dark Mode theme. Latest EM Client on windows 10 64 bit, plenty of RAM and free space on SSD
I agree however to me it is more of a âflashâ in different parts of the screen as it transitions from a light to dark display.
Not sure when this started to happen but it appears to me to be getting worse (could be due to aging eyesight).
I initially thought it was a Windows issue, but not seeing this with any other apps.
I am running latest version of eMC, Windows 10, HDD, Ram=8gb.

Hi @sunriseal
Obviously I have knowledge of your eyesight, however, unless your eyesight is very bad
it is unlikely and you would probably see flashing elsewhere.
To eliminate, do you have flashing in any other theme?
Also I suggest that an upgrade to an SSD should help the situation particularly
if it is getting worse.
I also use a Dark theme that I edited myself and have never had any issues,
if you would like a copy to try, ask and I will give you a link to download.

Yes âI can also replicate this issueâ, which mainly appears very noticeable in email bodies with âhardly any text or inline picturesâ on the email using the (default dark theme).
Eg: If you click on an email while using the default dark theme with say (only a few lines of text at the top) and (nothing else in the email), then look closely to the body of the email just after you click the subject you will see see a slight âflicker / shimmerâ in the (body background) as @sunriseal advised. This is also alot more noticable when using (View Layout) âMessages on Rightâ.
I havenât ever noticed that before as my emails usually have alot of text and inline pictures pages long. and havenât noticed if its been there in previous eM Client versions. Currently using EMC V 8.2.1659.
You do?
I tried YOUR theme and it does flash
when loading as it does with the default Dark theme.
Tried a few of the others and no flashing
I am guessing itâs a simple coding bug where window colors briefly change to default OS (Windows) setting.

Hi @sunriseal
Sorry, I do not remember who uses my dark theme, there have been nearly 5000 downloads.
I have absolutely no flashing at any time so I have to conclude that it is related to computer
performance. I have:
Lenovo Thinkpad P17 Gen 1
Intel Xeon W-10885M vPro Processor
(2.40GHz, up to 5.30GHz with Turbo Boost, 8 Cores, 16MB Cache)
Win 10 Pro Workstation x64 21H2
64GB(16x4) DDR4 2933MHz ECC SoDIMM
512GB SSD, M.2 2280. PCle-NVMe, OPAL2.0,TLC (X4)
17.3" UHD (3840x2160) IPS Anti Glare 500nits Non-Touch
NVIDIA Quadro RTX 5000 16GB GDDR6 256bits
So maybe this is why I do not have any performance or display issues.
Sorry I can not help anymore.

Wow, not sure what provoked that response. I donât believe I said anything other than indicating that I had already tried your theme (not complaining that you should know I had).
OK, moving right along⊠appreciate your taking the time to respond.

Its nothing to do with computer performance. This flicker / shimmer (for a split second) is definately there as initally @stever1717 and @sunriseal later pointed out. I can replicate this on two differant highend spec Win 10 pcâs using the default âDark Themeâ. You have to look closely to see it happen.
If its not a coding bug as @stever1717 suggested above, then it could just be the way the Dark Theme transition works when it reads the HTML email body and displays the background. Would need someone from the Devs to advise on that.

Hi @sunriseal
There was no intention to offend or upset.
Perhaps my use of your language is too direct.
Even though I use English I prefer Spanish and
grew up tri-lingual, Spanish, Portuguese & English
I am happy to use any of them as required.
ÂĄBuena suerte!

Hi @cyberzork
Whether it is or is not computer performance related for me is academic,
I have never noticed any flashing or odd effects.
Also, as you say â You have to look closely to see it happenâ,
is it really worth the bother?
ÂĄBuena suerte!

No itâs probably not worth fixing at this present time, unless we start to get alot of peeps who are also noticing this issue & are not happy.
Got it⊠I can surely handle âdirectâ but was taken back by your interpretation of what I said. Time to move on and concentrate on our âpassionâ, problem solving
