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.
