Dark mode

[Robinad]

Hi,

I suffer from really bad migraines and bright white screens make my symptoms worse/appear for the rest of the day. I noticed that you have the dark mode available for your app, but not for your website. Which I need to use to turn in my assignments or to see extra links that my Professors post. For two weeks straight now every time I open the website to get my assignments done/get more information I have too stop after being on the website for 20 minutes because the wave of nausea and stabbing pain I have in my head. Then for the rest of the day I am fatigue because of the migraine. Please fix this... I have five more years of college and I cannot afford this to happen every day.

@Robinad ...

There is an idea that's been submitted for quite some time called [Theme Editor] Dark Theme/Dark Mode for Canvas - Instructure Community - 364079 which I encourage you to follow.  As you can see, there's a lot of interest in this idea, but there hasn't been any new feature available yet.  You might try looking through the responses in this idea to see if anyone has come up with alternative solutions.  I know I've seen non-Canvas ways to do this within the browser, but I'm not exactly sure what those are, to be honest.

I hope this will be of some help to you.

I have the same issues. Thank you for posting this. The problem that I have been having is mainly the bright stabbing pictures. If you can turn on the reader mode in your browser it will remove all of that fancy pain inducing css from the light enthusiasts and hide all of the pictures too. You are then left with a nice readable page of instructions in a common sense colored page. If there is an image that you need to briefly take a look at disable the reader mode, endure the stupidity as long as necessary, and turn reader mode back on again.

I hope this helps. Let's welcome the rest to the dark side... after all, as the moto goes "Come over to the dark side, we have cookies."
