  1. Problem

    Like many designers, I enjoy working at night. But Figma’s white interface just burns out the eyes. Yes, you can change the background of the canvas and hide the Layers and Properties panels and work that way, but it’s still better when the panels are visible to quickly control the order in the file and manage various properties.




  2. Solution

    To solve the above problem, you need to add a native theme selection (System, Light or Dark). That way, depending on the operating system theme they choose or the theme they want to enforce, users will see what they want.

    The Electron API has a nativeTheme module that has a themeSource property. Thanks to this, you can control the choice of theme.

    nativeTheme | Electron

    Dark Mode | Electron




  3. The interface could be like this

    Figma-BlackMode


    Or like this

    Figma-DarkMode




@Figma, we need a dark theme.

Thank you!

Buyer beware. Does not appear to work on Figma 97.7 macOS 11.3. because it only works on Figma Beta… I swear I know how to read

It works only in Figma Beta, as stated on the site.


Dark mode for Figma Beta



LOL I read that as Dark Figma being in beta… I’m dumb


  1. Add Dark Mode

  2. Market it like a Boss

  3. Profit???

This is just an april fools day joke

This is the #1 feature I miss the most switching from Sketch. Please add Dark Mode, Figma!

It is high time we have Figma with a Dark Mode switch!

And, probably with a customizing option for those who love to use the shades of gray!


Eagerly waiting for the official release news!

Yes please!!!

Yesss we need please !! 🙂

Would also love to see this in an upcoming version 🙂

Trying out Figma Jam with my team and it’s incredibly exciting; but in these times of remote-work and different timezone, the whole ecosystem is absolute torture for our eyes, our rooms and for those of us not fortunate enough to have separate offices, our ability to work without bothering close-by family members.


Jam seems to offer a limited set of colors, none of which is dark or even dark gray. I’m in Stockholm, Sweden and it’s 1AM here; my eyes literally hurt from brainstorming an idea and I hate that I may have to go through this experience again.


For the love of God Figma, please give us a dark theme 🙏 it’s more than just a style

How to install this theme? What file should I edit and what code to add?

Can the creator of this topic or someone, who have a dark theme make the instruction, give code or just upload the working Figma with a dark theme?

How figma continues to not have a dark mode is beyond me. This is the sole reason I am not switching from sketch.

I noticed my LG monitor has Figma side panels burned in! Dark theme would be highly appreciated.

This worked like a charm on firefox, now I only need the mac desktop app…aghh

Figma definitely need more options when come to appearance setting. I’d love to have the flexibility to switch between system default, light, or dark mode!

Still waiting for that day

Me too:)

This is actually one of the main reasons I continue to use Sketch. I think I’ll make the switch to Figma once they implement a dark mode. I totally understand that this is not the feature that’s big companies are putting on RFPs, but it would certainly be a welcome addition!

+1 Yes, please, dark mode as an option. Thanks 😎

Not upgrading until dark mode. Sketch is still my go to for this reason…

Thank you! It’s not perfect, and it is not available for Linux, but it works.

For Linux: GitHub - Figma-Linux/figma-linux: Figma is the first interface design tool based in the browser, making it easier for teams to create software. Join us in https://t.me/figma_linux and https://spectrum.chat/figma-linux

Very cool, this is a much better solution!
