Many of the icons I use as shapes in Lucid are white and I can't make them out clearly with the UI's standard color scheme.

Is there a "dark mode" for the UI? (specifically the shapes menu?)

Thanks!

Dark Mode is Officially Here!

You asked, and we listened! We’re thrilled to announce that Dark Mode has officially landed in Lucid.

To try out Dark Mode, make sure you opt into our new editor experience first! Once enabled, here is how you can customize your workspace:

App-Wide Dark Mode: Switch your interface theme anytime by heading to your User Settings.
Lucidchart Canvas Themes: Customize your diagramming experience directly inside Lucidchart from the right panel icon.

Such a pity that I can’t use Lucid when I’m sick.

My eyes are highly sensitive at the best of times and so much worse when I’m sick. They burn so much looking at white backgrounds, I can’t work like this.

My developer teams would greatly prefer if they could have an AWS-style dark mode for Lucidcharts.

A lot of the times AWS exports their archtecture diagrams onto dark grey backgrounds anyway. So this is already a fairly standard way of looking at software architecture diagrams around the software engineering world.

Also in general, most of the applications my developers use all support dark mode already. Code IDEs, JIRA, AWS, bitbucket etc… Lucidcharts is one of the few apps in their toolset that does not support dark mode which really stands out and is a complaint they often bring up. They were surprised this fairly standard feature was not already supported.

Just started using the Dark Reader extension which works pretty well IF you use the right settings.

In the Dark reader app click on "More" and then change the mode to "Filter" or "Filter+":

And then you get this:

Unfortunately this doesnt work anymore..

Hi @ilo, thank you for adding to this thread. Unfortunately, Lucid doesn’t currently support dark mode. While not ideal, some users find it helpful to change the background color. To learn how to change the background color of your Lucid document, I recommend checking out this article.

As this seems to have been 3 years and no dark mode, I guess it’s not a priority. Just to add to the convo, although Lucid looks good after 2 mins use I can’t use anything that doesn’t have dark mode, so I’ll have to stick with draw.io. No dark mode is a show stopper.

Hi @JasonBer, thank you for adding to this thread with your feedback. I can certainly understand why this feature would be beneficial and I apologize for the inconvenience here.

This feature is a requirement these days. On all apps, phones etc.
