Whenever you have another extension that transforms web pages to their dark variant, it would be nice for weava to be able to write on top of dark mode instead of not being able to see highlights.
Dark reader is a chrome extension that turns an otherwise pure white website (like CNN.com) to a dark mode system, changing all white background to a dark gray tint. It saves on battery and easier on the eyes for some of us. Use of weava highlight on such a screen however turns the highlight into a dark yellow/orangy hue and not the bright yellow highlighter hue we are used to.
This is of course not an easy task for the developers but maybe if they can tweak the highlighter color in such a mode/scheme it would turn the dark yellow color to bright yellow instead.
Weava's newest PDF viewer being so incredibly light is seriously off-putting. I shouldn't be looking into a filter for my entire monitor to be able to use this service.
Hi Firejowl,
Thank you so much for this very detailed explanation.
We understand the convenience of having your highlights visible even if you are in dark mode, most users today prefer dark mode for it is less straining on the eye. We will further monitor the votes for this request and also discuss this internally to consider it for the future development of Weava.
We apologize that we are currently unable to meet your wanted features of Weava, but we hope that you can still find value and maximize the use of our tool to aid your work.
Dark mode would be helpful for when you're looking through Weava at night, the bright light sometimes hurts my eyes and I have to lower the brightness which makes it difficult to see.
Yes!!! I'm a little bit dyslexic and some days it seems worse than others, today being one of those days. Unfortunately, a dark mode Chrome extension doesn't change the PDF which is kind of the problem. And it also makes things dark mode that I don't want that way, so lose-lose. Please help!
Hi Megan, thank you for that detailed explanation, that is very helpful and makes it easier for us to improve. As for PDF, I would kindly suggest that you make a separate explicit feature request for that as that would require very different tech implementation than turning Weava's dashboard/sidebar dark. Thanks again Megan!
Thanks for that request QuadraDoge. If you (or anyone else seeing this) have any dark mode screenshot examples that you like, then that would be further helpful. Thanks again.

It´s been suggested before, but there´s been 3 years already and we still don´t have this function. It would be nice to have it

It would be extremely helpful to have, for instance, for night owls who must work at night, not to blind their eyes with the power of the sun!

A dark mode for pdfs would slay tbh

Hi,
This is a good suggestion.
There are a number of users requesting the same feature.
We will make sure to add this on the road map.
Love of Wisdom
After several months, no update?
QuadraDoge
Wow I did not expect this to blow up so much thanks everyone
Arsalan M.
there is a way: bright yellow gets inverted to dark yellow and vice versa
So you'll have to pick a dark yellow. But that's a premium feature :P
Arsalan M.
I think everything should have a dark mode!

Add dark mode/night mode to ease the eyes while burning the midnight oil.
