Dark mode toggle in user preferences

Aisha Khan Aisha Khan 1 month ago

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.

Appreciate the clear steps. The dry-run tip in particular saved me from a mistake I would not have caught otherwise.

Solid breakdown. The only thing I would add is to back up before making the change — better safe than sorry.

Adding a small note: the same idea applies on mobile, just with a bit more attention to tap targets.

For what it is worth, the same approach works with the PMPro adapter — the membership side is identical from here.

Following this thread closely. We are about to face the exact same decision and the replies here are gold.

This matches my experience exactly. The hard part is staying consistent once the initial novelty wears off.

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

Thanks for writing this up. Bookmarking it — the kind of thing I will want to reference again in a month.

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.

Strong agree. Good defaults beat a wall of toggles every single time.
