Oh, I think I saw that! It's not a full dark mode yet, I'm hoping we will have 100% dark background theme soon. Thanks!

No, it is 100% Dark Mode
In the web version, there is a mode which is called "dark" but it is not. But in the Desktop versions, they added a real Dark Mode.
Please have a look:

Is that beta software? I went to the Nirvana website and couldn't find anything about a desktop version.

Yes, this is beta but very stable. Basically as stable as the web version is.

Awesome! I had version 3.2.8 installed (from an e-mail Nirvana sent me a while ago). I think I missed the newest version. Thanks for the link! That's the dark mode I was looking for

Just installed the latest beta. I like the dark mode.

I hope nobody will be offended by my new idea.
Here's BLACKANA - the best black mode competitor to Asana, Nirvana, OmniFocus, Nozbe and Todoist. You can have million things to do but BLACKANA always displays this beautiful black screen. You're done. Relax! @mcogilvie

Perfect. It always responds totally appropriately to whatever you throw at it. We’ve gone way beyond “mind like water” now and have arrived at “mind like black hole.” It takes in everything, and spits out Hawking radiation.

I like the dark interface because it's more legible. I think Nirvana's implementation of GTD is the most faithful to the methodology of any software I've tried, but the interface could use work. The dark mode is a step in the right direction.
I hope someone at the company considers hiring a UI consultant. The program has some great features, but like I said the UI leaves a fair amount to be desired.
Mind you, I'm still happy enough with Nirvana to stick with it for the time being. I like it better than anything else I've tried so far.

I find this so odd. For me the biggest advantage of modern computers vs the old CRTs I started on is the black text on a light background. So much more readable and less eye strain. I can't even function with dark mode in apps. I remember there were studies that showed light background and dark text is more healthy for your eyes as well as easier to read for most people.

Normally I prefer dark text on light screen. Unfortunately, in light mode some of Nirvana's icons lack contrast against the white background and are hard to see.
Like I said, the company could really use the services of a UIX consultant.

Hello Have you thought about implementing the calendar in Nirvana? I have done it recently and I am happy. In the "Scheduled" list for Nirvana, I have the calendar, the recurrent ones and the tickler file

I really do love Nirvanahq and how well it works for me. I will be patient!
Resist!!! as I have been a user of Nirvana for many many many years. They had the old interface still when I started with them. As they usually say ... Old rockers never die. Hang in there, buddy! They are slow but sure. Besides.... after so many years, I've made approaches to other tools and always returned with my tail between my legs to the heat and security of Nirvana

Is there a way to duplicate an entire project in Nirvana? Or, to duplicate a group of actions? I'm asking because I have work projects that follow the same initial steps every time I start them (think construction tender projects with a series of initial setup actions to get it running). I was thinking I could create a "template" project with these actions and then copy them all to a new project. Thoughts or ideas? Thanks so much!

Probably the best what you can do is creating a references notebook(with items) as your project template. Each time when you need you can make a copy of this notebook (popup menu) and convert a copy into the project(popup menu).

Really easy @Ariadne Marques
as @Mateusz says, as simple as that:
1. Create a reference list and call it a project template x
2. Right mouse button and "Make a copy"
3. Select the new copy > Right mouse button "Convert to project".
Voila! you have your template reference list converted into a project. You can have as many templates as you want.
You can see the process there

In Things (iPad) you choose "Duplicate" from the Project's local menu.
In TaskPaper (Mac) you choose "Duplicate" from the "Item" menu or press Shift-Command-D.
Just saying... @Ariadne Marques @mcogilvie
Duplication is my most common way of adding a new next action after completing one. “Begin rough draft” gives rise to “Complete rough draft” and so on. It’s fast and efficient when supported directly by the app. Duplication works throughout Things, across platforms. Even if you didn’t have duplication in Taskpaper, cut and paste is almost as easy.
Omnifocus used to drive me nuts with its behavior in iOS. Duplication is enabled in the built-in tag (context) and project views, but not in any user-defined views. It’s like buying a big truck with a 10-speed transmission and finding out the clutch only works in first and second gear. I check periodically to see if it’s fixed. So far, no.

Thank you! That's exactly what I wanted!
