[Theme Editor] Dark Theme/Dark Mode for Canvas

[matthew_keatin1]

Hello all! I am a student, and I am here to suggest an idea that I thought would make Canvas more personalized. I think a dark theme would be great for Canvas since some students like to stay up at night (not me), and the bright white light from Canvas can hurt their eyes. The main reason why I want it is because it would look better on my computer. Youtube and Google have these options, why not Canvas? Thank you for reading!

While we are not able to announce that this idea has been completed, it is important to celebrate that Dark Mode has been added to Canvas Student, Canvas Teacher, and Canvas Parent. (2022-07-05)

There should be an easy option to toggle a "dark mode" on and off. The white background is harsh sometimes.

A dark mode would be great for Canvas as I often find myself having been on Canvas for hours at a time and a dark mode would help ease the strain on my eyes. It would also be fun to be able to customize the colors to make your personal Canvas dashboard more reflective of who you are or bring some enjoyment to doing homework.

I get headaches looking at a white screen and a dark mode would make it so much nicer.

Agree. This is a pretty standard usability feature of other major websites nowadays.
