_Hello darkness, my old friend ๐Ÿ‘‹ ๐ŸŒš_ Last week, we announced [Netlify Labs](https://answers.netlify.com/t/introducing-beta-access-with-netlify-labs/35227), a beta testing area in Netlify to try new features that are in the works. As a night owl myself ๐Ÿฆ‰, Iโ€™m beyond excited being able to have worked on and to share this update with you, thatโ€™s super close to my heart: **dark mode has finally come to the Netlify app!** Also, a big thanks to @nasivuela and @charlie for helping me bring this to life. ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/netlify/original/3X/f/f/ff71280448cbef6407f892ef101272596befd5a4.jpeg) * * * Dark mode is part of the new user appearance settings, one of the first features that you can now [turn on in Netlify Labs](https://app.netlify.com/user/labs). After doing so, enable it in your [user settings](https://app.netlify.com/user/settings#appearance). ![Screenshot 2021-04-09 at 00.33.22](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/netlify/original/3X/4/2/429acecccaa0c6603df882233f6e032bf19aca02.png) No more squinting or being blinded by the sheer brightness of the screen! * * * I hope you enjoy it! Let us know what you think in the comments.

Hey team! Just wanted to post back and say that the new extra-dark mode is even sickโ€™er than the first edition. Fan ๐Ÿ‘ tast ๐Ÿ‘ ic ๐Ÿ‘ :netliheart: Jon (Not entirely sure when it switched so โ€˜newโ€™ may be a little old, but nonetheless!) ---
