I love FamilySearch, but my eyes get tired very easily with all this white background. PLEASE DEVELOPERS, please give us dark mode setting

    In the tree view you can click on "Options" and select "Invert Colors".

    It's good to know that the tree has a dark setting, but I don't spend much time there and I feel like a site-wide dark mode would be very useful for those insomnia nights. I agree with OP that the white background also gets tiring easily, and would love a sepia option as well.

    Amen, familysearch desperately needs a dark mode. I used to spend a LOT of time doing genealogy, but I developed eye issues, and the bright screen is really deterring me.

    I also have eye problems.

    Where is the options command to invert colors?

    Dark mode is needed ASAP

    But please don't forget those of use with severe nearsightedness. We need the bright screen to cause pupillary constriction to aid with focusing. I find it practically impossible to read pages that are in dark mode.

    Would really appreciate a Dark Mode option. Obviously it shouldn't be the ONLY option, but it would really help to be able to switch based on user preference.

    I don't know if it will help everyone using FamilySearch.org, but here below are two FamilySearch.org screenshots side-by-side where the one on the left is with the default settings, and the one on the right has the Dark Reader Chrome extension turned on. I've used it for years when Indexing and Reviewing.

    Here is a link to the Dark Reader Chrome extension.

    Dark Reader is free, but they accept donations. Also, it is the user's choice whether to activate it or not.
