Battery: It helps save battery life on devices with OLED screens.
Modern Appeal: Users expect dark mode now—it’s standard on most platforms.
Accessibility: It’s better for people with light sensitivity or vision issues.
Why It’s a Great Idea:
More Engagement: People will stay on the site longer, especially in dark settings.
Simple to Add: A quick toggle or auto-detect based on system settings. Minimal work, big payoff.
Conclusion:
Dark mode is a small feature that makes a huge difference. It’ll improve user experience, keep the site up to date, and it’s something everyone will love once it's there. Just a thought—hope we can make it happen!
Hi and welcome to WordPress Core Trac!
#50051 proposed dark mode on the front end, involving themes, and #41928 proposed it for wp-admin. This seems more focused on the front end, so I'll close as a duplicate of #50051.
