What is Dark Mode?

Dark Mode or Dark Theme is a setting that allows users to change the overall system color scheme to a light text on a dark background, as opposed to the default dark text on a light background. Benefits of using dark mode include reducing the energy consumption of your device and reducing eye strain when working in low light conditions.

If your device's operating system is set to dark mode, Sakai will automatically enable Dark Mode in the application.

There are two ways you can enable or disable Dark Mode manually: 1) in the Preferences tool, and 2) using the toggle in the user profile drop-down menu.

Note: If you don't see one or both of the options below, it means that it has not been enabled in your system.

To enable Dark Mode via Preferences:

In your Home site, select the Preferences tool.

In Preferences, select the Theme tab.

Select the radio button for Dark Theme and click Update Preferences.

Your screen will change to display light text on a dark background.

To enable Dark Mode via the user profile drop-down menu:

Select your Profile icon and choose Dark Theme > On.

Your screen will change to display light text on a dark background.
