Hello everyone,

We've enabled users with the option to switch between Light and Dark mode (Day and Night mode).

To switch between modes, click the ☀️ or 🌜 icons in the header or directly from your usermenu (avatar icon).

Thank you.

Thanks! I love dark mode all the time everywhere. As someone with strong myopia anything that can help my eyes ease the strain is welcomed.

As is, FF's dark mode is much better than Upwork. The background alone makes the site more agreeable to use. That said, I think a softer colour scheme would be much easier on the eyes. Maybe the team would consider easing out the contrast of the overall design in the next iteration...

@human Thank you for the feedback! I agree there's room for improvement in the color scheme, and I'll be sure to include some updates in one of the upcoming releases.

Using the forum in dark mode. It's very welcome.

A couple things I would recommend to change, though:

Link text is a darkish blue, and I can't read them on the very dark background (background colour is spot on, btw… well, looks a blueprinty dark blue on my ipad, but grey on my mac)
Likewise, some of the buttons are a medium blue with what looks like the background colour as text. The background colour as text colour on those buttons is ok if the button colour is lighter.

Here's a couple of suggested colour palettes:
