Almost 2 1/2 years later and this simple adjustment is still not done? For goodness sake, I’ll PAY SHOPIFY to make it happen. Contact me to arrange the payment. This is ridiculous.
Topic summary
Users are requesting a native dark mode option for the Shopify admin interface, citing eye strain from the bright white background. Third-party apps and browser extensions exist but are criticized for slowing down the site and injecting code.
Shopify’s Response:
- A Shopify representative acknowledged the feedback and submitted it to developers, but made no guarantees about implementation.
Community Workarounds:
- One user (PhilFoss) created a custom CSS solution available via the Stylus browser addon at userstyles.world
- Another suggested using Chrome’s experimental force-dark flag (chrome://flags/#enable-force-dark)
Current Status:
- The discussion spans multiple years (references to 2023, 2024, and “5 years later”)
- No official dark mode has been released despite ongoing requests
- Users express frustration that such a basic accessibility feature remains unavailable while Shopify releases other updates
- The issue remains unresolved and ongoing, with community members continuing to bump the thread and share memes expressing their frustration
