Dark mode toggle in user preferences

AI Aisha Khan vor 4 Monaten

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.

This is the answer I wish I had found six months ago. Would have saved me a weekend of trial and error.

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.
