How are you switching modes, and where is it not working?

Actually, there is a switch mode on the Figma when you are done with variable config right ? So on my side as a designer, I have a switch icon, but on my dev side as a viewer, they don’t. So I want my dev team to have a switch mode on the view side as well.

It’s not possible to switch variable modes in a prototype yet, unfortunately.

Thank you so much for your replied, I hope it could be available soon because it’s good for dev or users to switch in real view.

Yes! I also need this. My developers want to check how the components look like in Light and Dark modes and they can’t right now.

Totally agree with author’s point. Now I need to create 2 separate pages. One for light mode and one for dark mode. For designers, Figma allows you to switch between light/dark (using variables for sure), but in developer mode, this is not allowed. This is critical for both designers (to avoid multiplying pages) and developers. Do smth please (((
