I use all my development tools in the dark theme except Sourcetree.

It has no option in its configuration to change theme.

Is there any other way to change for a dark theme?

The dark theme is working on Windows client now. My Sourcetree version is 3.2.6.

After you update your Sourcetree, you can change your theme on Tools > Options > General > Theme > Dark.

Looks like official support is rolling out tomorrow, though you can manually download the update now. https://blog.sourcetreeapp.com/2017/07/17/engineering-a-darker-sourcetree/

You can get the new version of sourcetree. It will update your old version to the new one.

Tools > Options > Updates!

OR

https://product-downloads.atlassian.com/software/sourcetree/windows/ga/SourceTreeSetup-3.2.5.exe

Then, go to Tools>Options and General/Theme and select Dark

If you switch Windows to a dark theme, SourceTree will follow.

Edit: Now there is a built in solution. See Ryan's answer

    I would like a more practical solution without having to change the windows theme. It's ugly. Now, we can only wait a release of a new feature. – Alexandre N. Mar 09 '16 at 13:02

    GitKraken is a great alternative to SourceTree if you need a dark theme. Also it is available on Windows, macOS, and Linux. Real easy on the eyes. https://www.gitkraken.com/ – Elon Zito Nov 04 '16 at 03:20

    This answer never worked, 15 days later (or 4 comments below) it says, it doesn't work, many texts are not visible, Atlassian should fix this. – stramin Oct 04 '17 at 12:22

    This answer is wrong and not working because it only change the colors of Windows Store Apps and since SourceTree is not a Windows Store app, it won't work for Sourcetree – Theotonio Feb 20 '18 at 15:41
  • @Theotonio Not only Windows Store Apps. – Alex78191 Apr 03 '18 at 13:38
  • @NoxMortem What features are missing? – Alex78191 Apr 03 '18 at 13:40
  • @Alex78191 at the time of writing the comment about GitKraken it had no git-lfs support, was missing a lot of information accessible with sourcetree regarding branches, logs/blame, etc. However, I have not used it since I wrote that comment and can not say anything about the current state of gitkraken – Kevin Streicher Apr 04 '18 at 13:04
  • gitkraken can't do commercial use. – John Jang Jul 18 '18 at 04:08
