Dark theme for web version

[ian10]

First off, I know that there has been a thread about this, but the solution relates to IOS.

So, had the request to see about implementing a dark theme/dark mode from several of the users here.

Has any one managed it?  If so how did you do it?

Hello @ian10 ...

I'm sure you've probably seen this Feature Idea that has been out here in the Community for quite some time, but in case others are looking at this topic, I wanted to provide a link:

Dark Theme/Dark Mode for Canvas - Instructure Community (canvaslms.com)

[ian10]

I believe the post is refering to the moble app version of Canvas and not the desktop version.  So still looking for an answer

@ian10 I believe the development of this is on pause as there are issues with the current app version:

Dark Mode on Mobile - Instructure Community

Some institution's colors are not working for dark mode and accessibility (or access at all) as there no longer is enough color contrast to see links to some items.  Based on the blog, I think they are getting feedback from users and that might be a path toward how a web version is created.  I have not been told about a web version in the works but just assuming they will not want to develop it until the current issues with the app version are addressed.
