What is Dark Mode?
Dark Mode is a display setting that switches the IdeaScale interface between a Light and a Dark color scheme across front-end and back-end pages.

Dark Mode is enabled from the Profile dropdown. It applies across every front-end and back-end page within the Workspace and Community, giving Administrators, Moderators, and Members a consistent viewing experience throughout the platform.

Exceptions

Register & Login Pages: These pages display in whichever mode matches the browser's preferred setting, rather than following the Profile dropdown switch, since the switch controls mode only after sign-in.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Dark Mode apply to both Workspace and Community pages?

Yes. Dark Mode applies across every front-end and back-end page within the Workspace and Community, including administrative dashboards such as the Moderator Dashboard, Idea Portfolio, and Reporting.

Why do the Login and Registration pages not follow the mode selected in the Profile dropdown?

The Login page and Registration page appear before sign-in, so they follow the browser's preferred display setting instead of the Profile dropdown switch. See Exceptions above.
