Hi Lee Rowley,

Is that possible to be achieved by switching a Theme dynamically?

I'd say to support a night mode theme in your app, do it the right way by creating an UI, which changes colors but respects the visibility of the elements.

If you want to elaborate this and suggest it for OutSystems to implement, you can register your idea here:

Hi,

Would be nice, there is already an idea https://www.outsystems.com/ideas/2533/service-studio-midnight-dark-theme?IsFromAdvancedSearch=True posted for it. So if you press the like button, then maybe you get lucky one day.

Regards,

Hello,

Thanks for responses - the suggestion was for a night/dark/mellow mode (delete as applicable) for Service Studio itself, as the amount of white or off-white backgrounds can glare at times.

I've liked the post suggested by Daniel Kuhlmann, so hopefully OS will see there is enough support for this idea.

Hi Lee Rowley,

Now I understand. The answer I gave was in the context of an application, and your question was related to Service Center. 

Good to know that your question is addressed by Daniël Kuhlmann , please mark his solution if your topic is solved!

Cheers!

I agree it is very important. For people who use glasses it is difficult to work for hours with white lights harming their eyes. My eyes get red on the end of the days.

They announced today Dark Mode for Service Studio. Problem solved.

Problem will be solved with the new Service Studio, but is not solved yet as it is not available yet, EAP just starting.

Just to complete the info, general availability will be in Q1 of 2021.

So, any news on this? :)

+1 on this. Should be of highest priority. My eyes are burning from the white light ??

The new cross platform version has dark and light mode. It's in EAP, and will be GA later this year

Where is the dark mode promised last year... :( 

When is the Dark Mode coming? It is an extremely demanded enhancement.

Hi all,

Just an update. A new service studio called Outsystems Service Studio hybrid was released last week. It has the dark mode feature. You can download it here Beta | OutSystems.

Hi @Dimitri Miller, just go to Edit >> Preferences ;)

When this will be included in stable release?

I can't seem to find it. It does not show up when I go to Edit > Preerences

For people who cant just install the hybrid version due to software install restrictions and policies, What is the ETA on this making its way to the standard stable release?

I can't believe it's 3 years later and this feature is only available in Beta. I'm an IT professional since the 1990s, and am an experienced developer. I can't think of a single other language/platform for development that doesn't have a dark mode for their IDE. Even Windows 11 Notepad now supports dark theme. Visual Studio, Visual Studio Code, IntelliJ, Eclipse, almost any Python IDE, etc. They all have it. I can't fathom why it's not there in Outsystems.

Eye strain is a major issues for developers. And beyond that, the blue light emitted by a full glaring white screen is not just causing eye strain, it's damaging your retina. There's no coming back from that.
