I must be the only person in the IT community who hates dark mode. I struggle to read and navigate properly on anything Dark Mode. A Light mode option would be great!
Hi guys, light mode is currently in progress alongside the the full redesign. Can you please take a look at this and give me your thoughts around colours/contrast etc.

This looks great to me, I’d use that light theme right now.
Since you guys are in the middle of this, any thoughts on letting us customize the theme ourselves? Maybe just via JSON like VSCode or other editors do? Or maybe it could be more like the upcoming script library / sharing features where we can upload and share?

What specifically would you like to customize? We are thinking about exposing the primary highlight as something you could change.
Teal Lynx
I guess I’m thinking of themes support, so being able to change the Menu color, tab colors, button colors, status colors etc. for example the way these themes change the vscode ui (not syntax highlighting, but the interface itself): https://vscodethemes.com I’d love to be able to just take a vscode theme (or any similar json theme) and apply it to the overall UI.
Maybe what I’m talking about would be better suited to custom css like Purple Fries mentioned. Although I guess if you went all in on those, the syntax highlighting could come along too.

Jumping on this as I like the idea of customisation. For me, simpler options would be fine, Customisation of the top/side banner colour and highlights on the page. Ability to apply a default theme to all users would be nice to apply a subtle bit of company branding with colour.

Massively more readable. From the phone I think I see a few elements that I’d bump the contrast, but that’s probably a job for custom css.

The light mode above looks great. Same as “Teal Lynx”..I’d use it right now if it was an option. Can’t fault the screenshot provided.

It’s looking great to me, can’t wait to use it.
UX thought, I wonder how the contrasts will appear on a low end monitor? Probably not a problem for most of us IT Pros’ but whites and light greys can get a bit washed out on lower quality screens.

In a really bright office, or outside, Dark Mode is so hard to use!

You’re definitely not alone, mate.

I think the redesign looks much nicer than the current portal. Any hint on the best effort release date?

I don’t hate dark mode. In fact, I prefer it when it’s dark. But, light mode is necessary. I tried accessing some tickets outside the other day and couldn’t read what was on screen.
I truly hope that it won’t be just a manual setting to change. Having it follow the system would be perfect. I use Powertoys to auto change on my PC.
