Ability to change darker backgrounds in Xero.
Purpose: White text against a Dark Background, is easier to see for the eyes.

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.

This would be an amazing product update. As someone whose eye sight struggles to adjust to back grounds with lots of white it would make life a **** of a lot easier.

It would be great if Xero would offer a 'dark theme' for users. I find the white/grey background tiring on my eyes if I'm using Xero for more than a couple of hours. Just as phones have this option and also Google does (learned that recently!) it would be great if Xero could offer the same option to toggle on and off - plus it looks good!

You can change dark mode on windows 11 but i find doing that and applying high contrast -
You may need to ask your IT to do the changes

Contract ThemesI choose dusk - it really changes other apps as well. This isn't ideal - Xero needs to get onto dark mode asap.
Would just be awesome if we can just have dark mode for Xero.

A dark mode is Critical in my opinion.

Considering I have to incur personal expenses in relation to colour overlays because of the migraines I get using Xero - please please make this a thing!

My eyes are suffering a bit of damage from contacts and having dark mode would be the best thing. I have changed chrome etc all over to dark mode which has eased the glare on my eyes from the white screen. Unfortunately xero cannot be changed and this is where I spend a lot of my time. Please bring this feature in as a WH&S priority.
