Many of you have asked for it! Dark mode is now available for the platform's interface in Beta. Give your interface a sleek new look that's great for reducing eye strain.
Dark mode offers many advantages. It is ideal for working in low-light environments or to reduce eye strain during prolonged use. As well as looking more modern, dark mode is also shown to improve accessibility for visually impaired and neurodiverse users. Finally, it allows you to customize the interface according to your preferences and needs, making your use of Klaxoon even more enjoyable. All you have to do is test these new options to improve your daily comfort!
Three display modes are now available:
Clear: the interface remains white for a bright rendering
Dark: A black interface to reduce eye strain and adapt to low-light environments
System: The platform automatically adjusts to your device's appearance settings
To view the desired mode, start by clicking on your profile picture located in the top right corner of the interface. Then, select the Settings option. Once in the menu, go to the Display Preferences section where you can choose the mode that best suits your needs.
What has changed?
1. Pages
With Dark mode, all pages in the Klaxoon interface go black to offer a more pleasant rendering, with the exception of the template library, which remains clear for better readability, and the Getting Started page, which retains its light background.
2. Activities
Pages related to activities also appear with a dark background, aligning their appearance with dark mode to ensure seamless visual continuity. This adaptation ensures aesthetic uniformity throughout the interface, creating a fluid and immersive visual environment.
The Article activity has been completely redesigned to offer an optimal user experience. Now it adapts perfectly to dark mode, ensuring comfortable and enjoyable reading, even in low-light environments.
In addition, the Articles interface has been modernized with a clean and elegant design, highlighting your content more. These improvements aim to combine design and User Experience, allowing each user to enjoy a more intuitive and immersive navigation.
3. Board
As for the Board, although a dark mode is already available, the background remains white by default when creating a new Board, regardless of the selected appearance mode. This is to ensure optimal readability from the start, while giving you the freedom to customize the look and feel to your needs.
Also check out the "Adapt Board's interface to its background" setting. With this feature, the interface automatically adjusts based on the background color. For example, if your background is black, the toolbar as well as the other buttons will also be in black and vice versa for the white background!
To activate it, it's very simple! Just click on your profile picture and then select Settings. In the window that opens, go to the Display Preferences section. Just below the choice of appearance, you will find this option, which you can easily check or uncheck as per your needs.
💡 Please note: This option is enabled by default for all Boards, ensuring an optimized user experience from the first use. It allows all users to immediately benefit from a suitable interface, without the need to manually configure this setting.
💡 Please note: some Board modals are still in the adjustment phase
