Description

Why This Matters:

Comfort: Dark mode makes browsing easier on the eyes, especially in low-light.

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.
