  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



    Or like this




@Figma, we need a dark theme.

Thank you!

How can i install for mac?

please elaborate in detail.


Can you please elaborate how you did that?

I am on mac.


Dear devs, what’s so seriously wrong with You? You’re adding massive updates and changes like on a treadmill, but still ignore this years lasting request from Your community?


Aren’t You suppose to be the ones who listen to their community? It’s super annoying that Your App doesn’t support dark theme, I mean when You create a design app anywhere between 2015 - 2021, You create it first in Dark Mode, secondly You can stick it up with white eye retina destroying theme, if You want.


So seriously, what is wrong with You?


This is a request to please release an official version of dark mode for Figma. Sometimes we wok late at night and the white screen seems to be too harsh for the eyes at times. Being an avid dark mode user, expected Figma also had the same.


Would request to ship this dark mode feature out at the earliest possible. I am sure that there would be manny others awaiting the same as me.


Thank you and take care 🙂


This is not a “fancy” feature that we’re asking! It’s a request to stop discriminate against people with eyesight difficulties!


We should seriously consider hyping a hashtag #wewantdarkfigma in Figma’s Twitter, Youtube, Forum and community files.


Edit: I’ll do that myself


Yes please!


It’s crazy there’s no dark mode yet.

Well, there’s no hope in Figma to add this feature.


Man I work in the night and I can really use dark mode. Figma has been releasing so many features, but for some reason dark mode isn’t a priority?!


Folks @Figma - please fix this!


+1 for dark mode since everything else is in dark mode for me.


+1 as well. I’m considering switching from Sketch BUT I really want a dark mode like I have now.


Okay, even Google made dark mode page for the search page! C’mon guys!


+1 for dark mode


And it’s almost been a year, still no dark mode, going to switch to Sketch next year


Please, add Dark Mode came on


+1 for dark mode too


Damn figma, people supported you to get from where you are now and you can’t even give them the feature that they’ve been asking for years.


+111111111111 for dark mode! PLEASE ASAP


+1 dark mode

+1 dark theme!!!


For the love of god PLEASE DARK MODE! 😫


wen dark mode …



  • 1 for dark mode


Seriously, a web design tool for designing pages with Dark Mode, but the tool itself does not have dark mode?

Nuts that Figma does not have a dark mode!

Nuts that Figma ignores it’s community!

And this is how tools come and go. You just have to ignore your customers long enough.
