Summary
Dark mode is an entirely different variant of your event theme. It uses a dark color scheme for all backgrounds, bringing out your content and often making the screen elements easier on your audience's eyes.
Your event's theme colors are still used for your app menu and buttons, and your banners will make your brand identity stand out even more.
Important: Dark mode is only supported on the web app. If dark mode is enabled for your event, the mobile apps will keep their standard "light" theme. You may also wish to download our standard app icons to use with dark mode.

How do I switch my event to dark mode?
You can easily use dark mode for the full duration of your virtual event, or just switch it on whenever it is appropriate:
- In your workspace menu, go to Design > Theme, and select the Appearance field:
- Select Dark, and then save your changes.
Important: Feed posts created in Backstage before switching to dark mode will have a default white background. The background color for those specific posts can be changed in Backstage. Use #252627 as the background color and #ffffff as text color.
