With the release of MATLAB R2023a, we also are giving you early access to the new MATLAB Desktop. This includes Dark Mode! Download via Add-on Explorer in MATLAB or find here on File Exchange.
These are some of the many enhancements and new features of the new desktop:
  • Dark mode / theme support - Change the colors of the desktop by selecting a dark theme.
  • Updated layout - Quickly access tools and change your layout using the sidebar.
  • Expanded search capabilities - Easily find actions, settings, and resources using the new universal search box.
  • Figure toolstrip - Use the new figure toolstrip to easily modify annotations, text, and line styles, and view generated code.
  • Keyboard and screen reader accessibility support - Use a screen reader to interact with the Command Window, Editor and desktop tools.
  • Enhanced MATLAB Projects workflows - Collaborate using an improved user interface, manage multiple repositories using the Branch Manager, and investigate project hierarchies using the new Dependency Analyzer view.

Same problem on an arch base distribution (manjaro). Is there the possibility to change settings trough command line?

I think it is currently a problem with the new desktop and Gnome DE. Because, it works perfectly fine on KUbuntu.

Is the display scale factor ignored by the Desktop Beta, because changing the personal value does not seem to do anything?

How do I generate plots according to the dark mode. Currently they're coming out as white.

Is there a way to manually link command history to the new desktop beta version?
Also, this is perhaps obvious but better to mention that figures created in dark mode will keep their colors when using them in a report typically written/printed in white background. This basically mean switching to light mode before copying figures.

Great that you guys are bringing this feature now! Unfortunately, I'm getting the following error when I try to start MATLAB:
Any idea?

We apologize for the issue. It occurred with MATLAB R2023a Update 1, when launching the new desktop while disconnected from the internet. This issue has been resolved starting in R2023a Update 2. You can either install it by clicking on the notification icon in the top right corner of the desktop, or install MATLAB R2023b that was just released.
The workaround with your current version is to ensure you are connected to the internet during startup, and connect to the VPN, or the network where the Active Directory runs, if you are using a corporate-owned device. This should allow the new desktop to start successfully. You can also delete the startup.mlsettings from your %AppData%/MathWorks/MATLAB/R2023a directory to return to the standard desktop.

I tried it and it crashed. Now Matlab won't open. How can I uninstall it?

Can you try this?

Delete the startup.mlsettings from your %AppData%/MathWorks/MATLAB/R2023a directory to return to the standard desktop.

Are you able send any crash logs?

Let me know if this helps.

I'm also getting this issue. It happens about 10-11 seconds after loading into the new desktop. Deleting startup.mlsettings does return back to the default desktop, but I'm never given the option to send a crash report. I also cannot locate any crash logs.
