For those who are tired of waiting

Holy cow! good sh*t this is the best solution so far!

How do we change the desktop to dark mode as well? is that a setting in Figma itself?

desktop = work area? Deselect all and in the right pane you can change the background color

ok perfect! Thanks! I’m a sketch guy but just getting really into Figma here…

I hope Diablo mode comes out early. Thank you

Been asking for this for awhile too–tried the beta dark mode which works well *enough, but native dark mode would be a huge plus for me!

Come on Figma… I’ve been using the Beta app and a custom build that someone put together which is very far from perfect.

The brand I mainly work on is a dark brand. I can’t stand using the bright AF standard app!!!

@figma @figmabeta please make a dark theme. Designers pay money and use unsafe dark theme plugins in Figma. We need to fix this.

We request you very much.

I think it’s a good idea 👍
It occurred to me to make this version with the Windows 11 interface:

All Mica Desing:

Can you elaborate what dark theme plugins you’re talking about and how it is unsafe? So we could avoid them if what you’re saying is true.

Hi, can you make a video instructions on how to make figma ui dark mode? It will be really helpful😊

I suggest you open a new thread for this

I am here to enforce the fact that I really miss a dark mode in Figma. I do not work at night but my office is quite dark and working in Figma makes my head burst 🤯. It would also be great in FigmaJam, because, yes same thing. I try to fix it by using huge dark squares on the canvas… but let’s face it, not ideal.
😑 << my face while using Figma.

Why would I open a whole new thread on this forum if I just want him to answer my question? 🤷 It would be a huge help if he answers though cause if not means he doesn’t know what he’s talking about.

Please can you tell how you did it?

I believe he refers to the Figma Plus and that was removed form Figma library 2 years ago

So Figma team know that we need the Dark theme option over 2 years ago and until now no signs of Dark theme 😪
Here prove that they know that we need it

Really? Still no dark mode? I discovered that not only it helps with eye-strain but also with focus: instead of the whole screen having a pure white glow, with dark mode, the only elements that have a strong glow are text and artboards (if you keep them white). As I work on Linux, I have limited options (I don’t enjoy using a browser for Figma, as the Dark Reader extension isn’t 100% reliable, the web interface has no file tabs, and also I hate being reliant on an Internet connection). I now use a third-party app - Figma Linux, which has different themes but the files take forever to open:

A great alternative to Figma would be Penpot - It’s open-source (so if developers don’t want to add your feature, you can just copy the source code and make a clone of the app), sadly it’s still in development (but has dark mode from the beginning!):

Also a promising app is Akira (open-source), which is in alpha (not usable for work yet), has dark mode and works offline:

Gravit designer could be nice too - if it didn’t have a yearly subscription. The free version works only in the browser, premium has a desktop app. It is a usable vector design app, not aimed purely at UI design, thus it lacks prototyping features. It’s not open source (like Figma, sadly), but has dark mode (unlike Figma):

I know people dicussed this before but c’mon, I’m tired. I can’t stand the light mode. I don’t want to use 3rd party extensions, plus, I’m using the desktop app not web app. Is it that really hard to do? Please, give us dark theme. I love Figma and I don’t want to switch to anything else.

I think that the site could be improved if there was a dark mode. As it is with the lighter theme the site is causing eye strain for myself and others that I know. However having a dark mode would reduce the amount of eye strain, and make working on longer projects more pleasant.

After all these years no dark mode, pathetic

I think it is more realistic to wait a couple of years for a Figma alternative.

The fact that Figma still doesn’t support dark mode 3.5 years after it was released on MacOS is so upsetting 🥺

Same here!
I plan to switch from Sketch to Figma months ago. Then i test and no dark mode.
Today i install Figma in hope of dark mode. But still no dark mode.
