Dark Score feature
Currently using MS 3.3 and I love the Dark Mode feature. Nevertheless the score is displayed on white and setting the color of the paper to black in "Canvas settings" is not really a good idea due symbols, staves, text and notes stay in black and changing them in "style" alters the PDF exporting.
I'd love it to have a "Dark Score" mode that switches all the colors there. like the one shown on this tutorial for MS2: https://musescore.org/en/node/270327#issues and also an added feature to choose the UI colors if you don't like some.
I added a picture form it just to show what I'm talking about :D

Reminds me of my days in the public central library (many many decades ago, when paper books were used) when I would use wet, smelly, chemical photocopy machines to take home pages of Bach and Victoria, and they produced inverse-color images like that (before xerography).

Yeah! I've seen some of those kind of copies in my school's library, it would be pretty cool o.o
It is not a good idea to use glossy white for notes. This causes a situation called the Halo effect. (White light, stimulates all color-cells in the eye. After a while (when you move your eyes) you can see some flying imaginary transparent notes)

Cna you be more specific? you mean you want white staff and notes on a black background? Your computer's accessibility settings should provide an option for inverting colors. What OS are you on?

Hello! Thanks for replying.
Exactly, White on Black and exportable.
I'm on Windows 10 and Musescore 3.6.2 (last)
I've done this:
1. Edit-Preferences-Appearance-Theme-Dark
2. Edit-Preferences-Canvas-Paper-Black
Doesn't export the black, it's only for inside the program, I would want the exported score black for then
visualizing it in musescore.com in black paper.
3.1 Edit-Preferences-Advanced-ui/score/defaultColor-White
.2 Selecting all similar Elements not whited in point 4. and changing them
.3 Staff: right click precisely on it, Staff/Part Properties...-Staff Properties-Staff line color:White (right).
But with every score.
4. Format-Style...-Text Styles (last)-All Blacks to White
Paper: no option.
Staff: yes but doesn't work nor there's any option in Format-Style...-Staff text.
5. Applied this: https://musescore.org/en/node/270327#symbols-and-text
C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Roaming\MuseScore\MuseScore2.ini
Even changing the name to MuseScore3 and changing HEX colors (to try)
Also uninstall, reboot and reinstall several times...

Getting MuseScore 3 to read a MuseScore 2 INI file is not supposed to do anything useful.
The tutorial Changing the colours displayed in MuseScore explicitly is for MuseScore 2

As it can be deduced, it's obvious, I tried, still doesn't solve the issue...
