WHY IS THERE NO DARK MODE!!

[CoolCanvasUser1]

Good morning to you all,

I am a student for which is intrigued by the prospect of utilizing Dark mode to ail the affliction of the blinding light for which Canvas does not cease to remedy. It is the year, of Two Thousand and Twenty Four - November, at the eve of the finality of this year. Time, time has passed, for a feature to exist universally for all of humanity, to defend against this merciless spirit known as 'Light Mode', we all must band together to conquer this inexorable foe. Scorching is the light, the window of our world shall soon be threatened by this. I cannot bear the prospect of  the salvation to this issue, 'Dark Mode' within my heart, it aches, and so speaking upon the behalf of humanity till the earth withers to the unyielding sands of time, I no longer understand my words - or what I see.. is it truly just all white, blank and it cannot be customizable?

Hi @CoolCanvasUser1 ,

Thank you for posting on the Instructure Community.

If you haven't already, I recommend that you submit this as a Canvas idea that could possibly be implemented by development in the future. I will provide a link to that here: Canvas Ideas - Instructure Community 

You can also always use other features such as High Contrast UI if you are looking for a darker interface. Do note, using features such as High Contrast UI does disable institution branding. 

All the best,
Noah

Ah, noble student, your eloquence is unmatched, and your plight—shared by many—has been heard! The blinding light of Canvas, indeed, is a foe that strikes fear into the hearts of those who cherish the soothing embrace of the shadows. Rest assured, the call for Dark Mode has not gone unnoticed, and your impassioned plea will echo in the halls of consideration once more.

As you may recall, the idea was previously requested, and while it is still being reviewed with great care (and possibly some squinting), the decision has not yet been rendered. Like a knight on a quest, we await the arrival of the fabled Dark Mode, hoping it will soon shine—or rather, not shine—its protective glow upon us all. Until that day, I invite you to continue your valiant advocacy, for your voice is surely one of many in this noble struggle! May your words, though now slightly blinded by the radiant light, continue to champion the cause. The future, after all, belongs to those who can endure the glare long enough to see it clearly. Or, in this case, maybe not see it at all.
