Wow, that’s great !!!
Appreciate the code editor colours in Automations 
Wait, what’s that - looks like more good news to come 😀


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

 


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

Love it!



A quick feedback: 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!  It’s much appreciated.

 

I’m gonna have to agree with ​@Adnan Ahmed, though.  I think the contrast could be adjusted a little bit.  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).

 

Here’s the comparison:

 

Airtable Dark Mode
Dark Reader Dark Mode

IMO, the dark reader dark mode is much easier on the eyes.  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.

Colors in button field have poor legibility

Overall I love the darkmode! I do think there are some places where text should swith to black to be more legiable. Button fields with light colors are especially bad.

Hey ​@ischwane,

Just in case, you might want to submit that as a feature request using this form. That is the best way to get Airtable’s attention re: Product Ideas.

@Mike_AutomaticN Thanks! I did submit it in the feedback form linked in this annoucement post. I’l probably submit it here too. Just trying get it in front of as many eyeballs as posible since its an accessability issue for our end users.

Yes feedback form should also work, but I’m not sure how much that is being tracked (hopefully it is!)

I recently enabled dark mode on my Android mobile device (Z Fold6) and I really like it. However, there appears to be a bug with long text fields. When I try to edit a long text field, the text color is black with a black background.
