Hi all, appreciate the interest in this idea and its importance to help reduce eye strain and headaches for improved user comfort, especially during extended usage.

We understand that this has been a longstanding request, and we genuinely appreciate your patience and dedication to making Xero an even better platform for all.

While this may be a function we look to explore in the long-term, we want to be upfront that this is not something we'll be developing in the near term due to the complexities involved and the need to prioritise other impactful updates. We know that this may be disappointing but hope that this provides some clarity.

In the meantime, as some users have mentioned you may be able to use a third-party app like Google's High Contrast, which allows you to change the colour on your screen to make it easier to read.

    5 years no dark mode. 1st part support > 3rd party tools. this is an accessibility need for some people. but then again windows narrator doesn't seem to work on the site either, so maybe prioritise that first?

    I, too, would love a dark mode, or at least an option for the site to follow browser default settings or device settings on that issue.

    It's amazing how many people have asked for this over the years and they still haven't created a dark mode.

    Dark Mode on Web application, allow ease on the eyes when working on Xero all day.

    Regarding Dark Mode….The IPad app version has dark mode, I would like to see it in the web version as well

    I don't want a new view screen that is ugly as ****, the evil eye always staring at me is giving me anxiety, how about instead of coming up with features people don't want you just give the people what we really want DARK MODE

  • Lynda Hughes commented  ·   ·  Report

    Agreed, I can barely make it through a whole day without my eyes burning and getting a headache when I'm on Xero.

  • Nishitha Donthy commented  ·   ·  Report

    Hello Hannah

    I have two questions for you, why does Xero always say how important health is to businesses and that new ideas are important. This is what we experience with using Xero every day. Sounds like actions speak louder than words. On the topic of being complicated, really? this is just not true. In chrome it is possible without doing anything to Xero.

    Xero can do Better

    Would certainly be a great feature. Almost every single app now has dark mode. Please consider this a priority!

  • Robert Cagalj commented  ·   ·  Report

    Native dark mode, please. It's beautiful software that hurts my eyes.

    For anyone coming across this using Chrome, I have done this and it seems to work well in most places, including Xero.
    Go to the URL: "chrome://flags"
    Search for and Enable "Auto Dark Mode for Web Contents"
    Relaunch Chrome.
    You can bookmark the Experiments URL to disable and enable as needed.
    Works great on the Meta Business Suite and Google Admin platform too!
