In the meantime, this Chrome extension works pretty ok.

Any news?

@G3ph4z we don't have anything in the works right now to add a dark mode in the current ui. However, the new ui (which we are currently building out in conjunction with Patternfly) does have a dark-er mode and they have an Epic created to track progress in that area.

This is the current ui with the "dark mode":

Here are some resources that might help and provide some insight:

@AlexSCorey Thanks for the update, I'll check it. :)

As someone who really is sensitive to light that really needs a lot more dark to reduce eye strain. The main content of that page is all white. I would like to add my vote for a full dark mode/theme, it';s the direction so many applications have already gone and are going. Windows 10, MacOS and countless applications have full Dark Mode/Themes already. If we're spending hours upon hours upon hours in this environment, something that drastically reduces eye strain really is something worth doing.

One more vote for this feature, as I work in 'dark mode' applications all day long.

But as a temporary workaround, the Dark Reader extension works pretty well, and supports Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and Safari.
