Very nice! Well done! šŸ¤©šŸ‘šŸ‘

Ā 


Love it, SO EXCITED! How about some dark mode interface love here, don’t the charts just pop more?

Ā 

Also, now the final frontier is dark mode for the Airtable Community Forum, just saying 😜


Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeesssssssssssss thanks ​@Ayesha_BoseĀ I can now work double shift!Ā šŸ˜‚


🤯🤯🤯🤯

My comment about the community was made a smidge too quickly hahaha


Wow, that’s great !!!
Appreciate the code editor colours in AutomationsĀ 
Wait, what’s that - looks like more good news to come šŸ˜€


That’s another great stuff. Before, IĀ had to invent my own coder/decoder to avoid storing secret keys as open text.

Ā 


I just wonder - will Extensions remain light or it will be possible to make them dark too?


Love it!



A quick feedback:Ā In the data layer, the rows seem a little too dark though (which contrasts with the text too much), so a lighter color similar to what ChatGPT uses might provide a better contrast that’s easier on the eyes.


Awesome, thank you guys!Ā  It’s much appreciated.

Ā 

I’m gonna have to agree with ​@Adnan Ahmed, though.Ā  I think the contrast could be adjusted a little bit.Ā  My team and I have been using Dark Reader for some time now to emulate dark mode, which we’ve come to really like (but takes up a lot of resources on our computer).

Ā 

Here’s the comparison:

Ā 

Airtable Dark Mode
Dark Reader Dark Mode

IMO, the dark reader dark mode is much easier on the eyes.Ā  Perhaps a compromise between the two would be better?


The team is so excited to have dark mode. It may seem like a small enhancement, but really seems to bring joy to the users.
