Dark/Night Mode


Forum|alt.badge.img+4

I’ve been using Airtable for a couple of weeks now and absolutely love the app. However, using it at night is blinding with all the white, so it would be great to have a Dark/Night mode similar to the dark Twitter theme or similar. Any plans for this on the road map?

What a great idea! If we had the option to vote, I’d definitely vote for this one as I have the exact same struggle when it’s dark.

You only get this feature if you are a programmer since only programmers will program features that programmers demand. Every text editor for programmers has a night mode because programmers by nature work always at night. Everyone else only works during the day and so night mode is unnecessary.

/sarc

Actually, Night Mode would be an awesome feature.


This is much needed. More and more programmers are using airtable and later at night or while on a flight the only app that is extremely bright is airtable.

Have you tried changing your computer’s screen settings to a night mode or its equivalent?!

Agreed. Dark mode would be amazing. Dark mode is one of those things that people 10 years from now are going to look back on and think why the hell did we ever use those blinding white UIs all the time.

Dark Theme should be basic function of EVERY software.
Please add.

+1 Dark mode is definitely needed! Outlook for Mac just finally made the leap and so should Airtable! Especially for those of us using Mojave’s dark mode!

TL/DR: dark mode. make it. plz.

Not anywhere near the same as a true native client-side dark theme.

A dark mode is desperately needed. I can’t work in the evening without it. I’m putting information in a code editor tonight, for copying back into Airtable in the morning, because Airtable doesn’t have a night mode. This is really obnoxious.

Here’s a very rudimentary user style to use with Stylish / Stylus / userstyles.css to work around a dark mode theme.

#hyperbaseContainer {
    filter: invert(100%);
}

#hyperbaseContainer img,
#hyperbaseContainer button { /* revert images back to normal */
    filter: invert(100%);
}

#hyperbaseContainer .white {
    filter: invert(100%);
    background: #222;
}

#hyperbaseContainer .pill,
#hyperbaseContainer .colorOption { /* revert back to normal */
/*     filter: invert(100%); */
}

Yes for dark mode. The chrome plugin doesn’t work so well with Airtable. Let’s add the feature please! :dark_sunglasses:

Is this only available if you have “pro” version?

No need for pro version. Stylus is a browser plugin, so changes things at your browser only.


This can be achieved easily by a chrome extension called “Dark Reader”. But what i expect is Dark Mode should be on Airtable Native App.

Dark Reader in Chrome does work well with Airtable including Dashboard blocks (tables, charts etc)
