SAP ABAP Editor (SE38, SE80) does not have a built-in dark mode in the SAP GUI, but you can achieve a dark theme using these methods:

1. Enable Dark Mode in SAP GUI (SAP GUI 7.70 and later)

If you’re using SAP GUI 7.70 or higher, follow these steps:

  1. Click on the “Customizing Local Layout” button (ALT + F12).
  2. Select Options.
  3. Go to Visual Design > Themes.
  4. Choose Quartz Dark or Quartz High Contrast Black.
  5. Click Apply and restart SAP GUI.

This will apply a dark theme to the whole SAP GUI, including the ABAP Editor.

2. Use Windows High Contrast Mode

If your SAP GUI version doesn’t support dark themes, enable Windows High Contrast Mode:

  1. Open Windows Settings (Win + I).
  2. Go to Accessibility > High Contrast.
  3. Enable a dark theme.

This will force SAP GUI to display a dark background.

3. Dark Theme in Eclipse ABAP Development Tools (ADT)

If you’re using Eclipse for ABAP Development, follow these steps:

  1. Open Eclipse.
  2. Go to Window > Preferences.
  3. Navigate to General > Appearance.
  4. Select Dark as the theme.
  5. Apply changes and restart Eclipse.
