Dark mode

Dark mode is a user interface design option that replaces bright backgrounds with dark tones, displaying text and other elements in lighter colours. It can help reduce eye strain, particularly in low-light environments, and may improve battery life on OLED or AMOLED screens. By minimising screen brightness, dark mode creates a more comfortable viewing experience, especially at night or in dim settings.

  1. In the Thrive menu, go to Configure > Theme.
    User Preferences

  2. To the right of Theme, click Dark mode.

Dark mode is now enabled on your Thrive account.

User Preferences in dark mode

Note:

Your preferences are saved within your browser. If you switch to a different browser, device, or mobile app, you'll need to set your preferences again on that device.

At this time, the dark mode setting is only available behind a beta toggle within the dashboard area. Admin users can toggle this on and off at a platform level for all users, and then users will have the choice to define their own individual settings on the user preferences page. Individual users will see three theme options to choose from:

  • Default: The platform's original colour theme.

  • Dark mode: A darker interface for reduced eye strain.

  • System: Syncs with your device or browser settings.

Individuals will continue to see the default settings, unless they amend this within their user preferences. See below for a step-by-step guide to updating user preferences.

Once an admin has activated the beta toggle for dark mode, individual users can then decide how they want their platform to look.
