Dark mode for FigJam

+1 on this. It is quite bright at night especially.

Why dark mode isn’t coming to FigJam after 3 years and this many votes. it’s a real issue Figma team?

I came here to do like hundreds of other people already done: ask kindly for dark mode.

After 16 years of being a web developer I started my own indie game dev journey. I’ve worked a bunch with Figma already so when I look to set up a mood board for my game it only made sense to give FigJam a shot.

The lack of dark mode makes me want to look for a more mature alternative.

+1 please Figma 🙏🛐

FigJam Lacks Dark Mode and this is a serious accessibility issue!

I’m a new user; technically, I signed up a while ago, but today was the first time I really dove into Figma and FigJam. I was absolutely loving the experience… until I hit a major roadblock.

No dark mode in FigJam?

Have you lost your minds?!?!?!?

I genuinely can’t wrap my head around this continued decision on behalf of the Figma organization. For some users, light mode isn’t just uncomfortable, it’s physically intolerable due to medical conditions. This goes beyond typical eye strain; for some users, exposure to light mode can cause severe issues and be an absolutely unnecessary artificial barrier for accessibility.

Why hasn’t this been addressed? This thread has been open for three years which is plenty of time to implement a solution!  WAY MORE than enough time.  Which means this is a decision instead of a temporary oversight.

Accessibility isn’t an optional feature; it’s a necessity. Ignoring this isn’t just an inconvenience.  It is a potential legal and PR liability that could potentially affect the Figma reputation.

As much as I was ready to make FigJam part of my workflow, I may have to step away entirely because of this. It’s frustrating to go from “This is amazing; how did I ever work without it?” to “I literally can’t use this.”

This isn’t about personal preference. It’s about accessibility and inclusion. Please, Figma team—prioritize this.

I’m taking the time to write this sincere communication to you because I care and want you to succeed!

dark mode is a must! Please add, or at least add option to change background colour. 

Everytime I open figjam, my retina is burning

As someone who frequently switches between working files in Figma and strategy work in Figjam - this is incredibly jarring.

Please, please, please, support a dark mode.

Please make the dark mode happen in Figjam.. I literally beg you… please.. my eyes cannot stand it

Please tell me where is the Dark Mode in FigJam? My eyes are burning.. The FigJam UI is too bright at night

years and years for a darkmode... they do not fkin care about the community request lol 

Please dark mode in Figjam 🌚 we just really need this

Please add me to this dark mode request - my eyes are hurting from all the white

Please do.. something!

consistent feedback over 4 years, a trivial front end addition (seeing how figma has dark mode already), yet we get nothing for figjam. this is just lazy 

Figma is more well established than its ever been before. It’s not even laziness or a lack of capability, its just careless. They already have a UI colour palette to make that happen.

Figma has had dark mode since forever, and it's honestly wild that FigJam still forces us into a bright white canvas. I know the sticky notes have colors, but here's the thing:

1. Eye strain during long workshops - We run 2-3 hour brainstorming sessions and that white canvas is brutal
2. Consistency with the rest of our workflow - We jump between Figma (dark) and FigJam (bright) constantly
3. Late night collaboration - Distributed teams mean someone's always working evening hours
4. Accessibility concerns - Some folks on our team have light sensitivity

The irony isn't lost on me that we use FigJam to design products with dark modes... in a tool that doesn't have one. 🙃

Quick note on browser extensions and unofficial plugins:

Before anyone suggests it - yes, I'm aware there are browser extensions and third-party plugins that claim to add dark mode to FigJam. I've tested several. Here's why they're not a real solution:

Technical issues:

• They break color accuracy and make screenshots unusable
• Sticky note colors get inverted or washed out
• They interfere with FigJam's native UI elements inconsistently
• Performance hits during real-time collaboration
• They often conflict with other extensions or break with FigJam updates

Security concerns:

• Many of these extensions require broad permissions to manipulate page content
• You're trusting third-party code to access your design files and company data
• Most aren't regularly maintained or security audited
• Enterprise environments (rightfully) block unauthorized extensions

It's a band-aid, not a fix:

• We shouldn't need to hack around basic accessibility features in 2025
• Relying on community workarounds signals that native support isn't coming
• Not everyone can or should have to install extensions to use a professional tool comfortably

A native, properly implemented dark mode would solve all of this. That's what we're asking for.

It has been 4 years and no updates on Figjam’s dark mode.. so sad

It’s early, I’m tired, and the brightness in FigJam is honestly a lot. Switching from Figma’s dark mode into FigJam’s bright white environment feels like my eyes are getting blasted with light every time I switch between the two.

As designers, we sit in front of screens for long periods, and having a consistent dark mode across Figma tools would make a huge difference. For me it reduces eye strain, feels more calming, and helps me stay focused without the stress of a bright interface.

I feel like my eyes are bleeding when I have FigJam open on a big screen. It’s brutal.

We need the dark mode so badddd T_T

Agree !

And four years later, we’re still waiting for that dark mode! 

Completely agree with everyone on this thread. Most folks on my team prefer dark mode - It’s actually pushing some people to use Confluence whiteboards as it supports dark mode out of the box. 

C’mon Figma… this unbelievable. FigJam insisting on that super-bright screen is as useful as an ashtray on a motorbike. Dark mode NOW please!!
