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.

    C'mon guys - how hard could this be to implement?? It's September 2023, and you've just increased your fees, but still no dark mode. This was asked for in 2019!!

    I've got a client who wouldn't move to Xero unless it has dark mode

    Its killing my eyes going from other apps in dark to blinded by zero. Please make available.

    xero could not care less about dark mode. if you look at other product ideas this has been requested since 2019 and hasn't even been acknowledged by xero.

    seriously mind boggling an app that is otherwise so progressive in terms of modern web design is this reluctant to add something they support on their mobile app already for god's sake.

    Would be awesome and standard practise for apps these days

    Just makes sense. Why hasn't it been implemented?

    pretty universal feature for modern web apps, what are you guys even doing
