Night Mode

118 votes

I would like a night mode that is easier on the eyes when writing in low light or the dark.

This would be especially helpful. White backgrounds, when spending extended time writing, are hard on the eyes. I am prone to eyestrain and tend to use dark backgrounds with light text all the time.

This will be great, especially with the upgrades coming for mobile devices. If I could add to my novel from bed by picking up my phone and NOT waking my husband in the middle of the night, that would be great for the nighttime "AHA!" moments.

It would also help make the software more disability friendly. I have a degree of scotopic sensitivity and being able to toggle a night mode would help reduce the eye strain! :D

As long as it's not just white text on black; that hurts the eyes too. Dark grey is easier on the eyes. (Light grey is actually better than pure white, also; how about multiple brightness options?)

Yes, dark theme options would be very helpful. Light grey on dark grey, or even customizable for your own preferences with some pre-fabbed themes to choose from.

"Dark Mode/Night Mode/Full-Screen Distraction Mode" (suggested by Jason John Tyler on 2018-05-23), including upvotes (1) and comments (0), was merged into this suggestion.

This would be so beneficial when a migraine is looming or strikes, having a dark screen would prevent headaches and eyestrain and make it easier to write at night.

Yes please! It would be great especially if it worked with the new Mojave dark mode. :)

Yes! Nightmode is a must for me. I use a lot of programs with dark options, and when I switch from those to white apps or programs, the change always gives me the worst headaches.

I really hope this is implemented soon.

In full agreement of this upgrade. I love to write in the dark and that makes the white background hurt my eyes even more. Otherwise I freaking love Dabble! Thank you for a great program!

This is out now! Go to the account menu, Preferences, then toggle on dark mode. Enjoy!
