Dark Mode

Many digital services around the globe feature options to change the appearance of the Graphical User Interface. The most common of these options is Light and Dark Mode.

Currently, FamilySearch exclusively uses Light Mode, featuring black text on a light-colored background. Dark Mode is the opposite, with white text on a dark background.

Many users prefer Dark Mode over Light Mode. By nature, it exhibits less harmful blue light, making it less harsh on the eyes and allowing for better sleep. Some users will use Light Mode during the day, and Dark Mode after the sun sets. And other users, especially in the younger generations, simply use Dark Mode all the time, finding it more aesthetically pleasing.

I would greatly appreciate the addition of Dark Mode to FamilySearch. And I'm certain that others would as well, especially the younger generations. It may even help youth become interested in FamilySearch.


EDIT:

Dark Mode already exists for Family Trees, as well as for the messaging. These are great, but I'd love to see a system-wide Dark Mode.
