Just make Dark mode, Figma. Or at least tell us when you’ll make it. This is getting really annoying
An alternate that was recently presented to me, was a plugin for Chrome and Firefox, created by someone and promoted in the Unofficial Figma Community Discord Server.
From that post: “Hey, colleagues Designers! If one of you works in Figma in a browser, then you are probably experiencing discomfort due to the lack of dark mode. I decided to fix this, and made an extension for Chrome and Firefox that makes Figma dark. At the moment, this is the most worked solution available, and besides, it is absolutely free!”

PS: I did not check this myself, because I do not mind the white… but for all the rest, this may be a nice solution.
Wow yeah this is the best work around Ive found for dark mode on Figma. Nice for reading search results, anything at night really. I’m on chrome. Nice one. Thanks
Message from Figma Dark creator, @Yarik_Bright
Hello to all. Figma is preparing to release a dark mode in the near future and they make often global changes to styles. Such changes make further maintenance extremely difficult. Thus, I am closing this project and waiting for the official dark mode release.
I appreciate your support, the dark mode will be released in Figma quicker because of our involvement in the project
Thank you, and I hope to see this through.
how much did Figma pay to you to close the project?
Just found this Gbrowser extension that works perfectly on Figgy!
Finally — my eyes can focus on these bangers.
It’s been weeks since they broke FigmaDark and there’s no sign of a native dark mode on Figma, not even on the Beta version.
Is the Figma team again gaslighting everyone like they did with the Figma Plus: gave everyone an impression they’re releasing a native dark mode soon but followed by years of total silence?
It’s been 2 years, and dark mode consistently tops the list of requested features.
I don’t know what everyone thinks, including Figma Dark creator, but until the Figma team flat out saying “we’re gonna release a dark mode tomorrow,” my view is they either think dark mode is too trivial and the community is too whiny, or worse, they simply hate dark mode.
They look like Adobe now,nobody cares the need of users
Please provide Dark mode.
Guy’s it’s time to launch it… the dark mode.
I think the programming team want to create a good product and focus on issues and new features, instead of worrying if a dark-mode is a prio. I do have it on good authority (FoF Discord team) that they are working on it.
Personally I prefer a less buggy Figma over a dark-mode… so lets not flame our beloved Figma for not providing one. Thank you!
The Figma team has only themselves to blame for the contentious nature of the Dark mode issue.
They shut down Figma Plus, a plugin that most users, including me, installed simply because they wanted a native dark mode experience, without providing an alternative.
Users have been asking for years for a Dark mode on the desktop client. All we hear are crickets. The lack of communication is astounding, considering that Dark mode is consistently among the top 3 most requested features ever since FigmaPlus shut down (almost 3 years ago).
The final straw is the recent update that broke FigmaDark, either intentionally or unintentionally. That was the only solution to create a native Dark mode experience and they sh*t on it with 1 update. And we paid for that too.
Designers are notoriously neurotic. A huge chunk of them works mostly or exclusively in a dim environment. And whenever they find a native dark mode solution, it feels like the Figma team is just behind to corner waiting to shut it down.
I, too, think the devs are working on a Dark mode. But working on it, and releasing it are 2 completely different things. At this pace, when will we get a native dark mode then? Hopefully 2024? Because I vaguely recall hearing the same sentiment from some other people with “good authority” back in 2020 that they were also working on a dark mode.
Nice post of not flaming the team. Lucky for me, I don’t mind the white.
If they ever DO release a Dark Mode, it will be an Enterprise feature ONLY, just as a final MIDDLE FINGER to their users.
Framer has beautiful dark mode
Pls, my eyes are burning
It obvious users and community NEED (not just want) dark mode. The issue is communication. What has the Figma team been doing to work towards adding Dark Mode? How committed is the team? Be transparent and tell us, either way it helps set expectations.
A) We know and we’ve been hard at work. Expect it some time in Q2.
B) We find customers who want dark mode annoying and we’re just dragging out feet, because in our opinion it’s low priority.
I suspect it’s B.
Hopefully, Dark Mode will be live by 2030. The airport in Berlin was even faster
There is at least one solution for the browser/Chrome version currently. For this there is this extension with which you can at least get the dark mode… better than nothing
Can we get a darkmode plzzz?
My eyeeezzzz
