Enable the dark color theme of VMware Workstation 16

Until now, VMware Workstation has always been available in white, as is the case on the image below.

But, since version 16 of VMware Workstation, you can enable the dark mode (dark color theme) from the settings of VMware Workstation.
To do this, open the VMware Workstation preferences by clicking on "Edit -> Preferences", then go to "Display" and select "Dark" in the "Color Theme" section.

Important : as specified in the official documentation of VMware Workstation 16, this "Color Theme" option is only available on Windows 10 v1809 and later.

Note : on version 16.2.0, this option disappeared for an unknown reason.
To make it reappear, you just have to edit the "%appdata%\VMware\preferences.ini" file with notepad by adding the line below to the end of the file.
This option reappears without any problem since the next version (16.2.1) of VMware Workstation Pro.

Plain Text

wsFeatureDarkModeSupported = "TRUE"

As you can see, the dark mode looks a bit futuristic.

Here are 2 more screenshots of this new dark theme.
