[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)

• Canvas Student Release Notes (IOS 6.16)
• Canvas Parent Release Notes (IOS 3.6)

It would be nice if the websites could utilize Dark mode to help when the sites are used at night to help reduce strain while trying to read them.

Dark mode would be an amazing feature as a bright white screen strains the eyes greatly.

how is dark mode still not a thing on pc? it has been 3 years since the start of the thread. honestly makes no sense.

Me and my peers have trouble reading on black on white, so it would be nice to be able to invert some colors, most technology for education purposes has a dark mode anyway, so i´d be nice if Canvas did too.

Canvas hurts my eyes and contrasts harshly against my other apps and my browser in which are in dark mode.

can we get a dark mode for canvas as to not strain our eyes when doing assignments at night

[JacobGalindezw]

it would not hurt my eyes

Its a nice tone. there are good and bad things about having a dark mode. I feel like having a dark mode makes it seem more intresting and contrasting. Having a white background is nice because it gets you awake, while having a dark background makes you slighty tired or relaxed.

It would be nice if there could be an option on Canvas to put the display on dark mode so it's not just white. White irritates my eyes so a dark mode option would be a nice feature.

At the very top of the faeture suggestion screen you have:

"Example: entering the word Dark provides more accurate search results than entering Dark Mode

"

So where is the DARK MODE IF IT'S YOUR PRIME EXAMPLE? WHY ARE YOU STILL BLASTING STUDENTS IN THE EYES WITH BRIGHT WHITE WINDOWS?

Seriously.
