Dark mode toggle in user preferences

aisha 2 months ago

It would be great if users could switch to a dark color scheme directly from their profile preferences, independent of the system theme. Many of us work late and dark mode reduces eye strain.

Ideally it respects the theme's dark palette and falls back to a sensible default.

Could you say more about how you measured the result? I want to try this but I am not sure what success would look like.

Strong agree. Good defaults beat a wall of toggles every single time.

Solid breakdown. The only thing I would add is to back up before making the change — better safe than sorry.

We ran into the same situation last quarter. What worked for us was starting small and only adding complexity when a real need showed up.

This matches my experience exactly. The hard part is staying consistent once the initial novelty wears off.

Appreciate the clear steps. The dry-run tip in particular saved me from a mistake I would not have caught otherwise.

Tried this on a staging copy first and it behaved exactly as described. Confident enough to roll it to production now.

This deserves more votes. It is a small change with an outsized impact on day-to-day use.
