AppCenter Dark Theme about appcenter

In case you were curious what that would look like - here's a previous exploration into an App Center dark mode @smockle did. More than a few people on our team would be open to actually making it happen if enough others want it.

Hello all, I have great news - we have been working on some designs for App Center Dark Mode, and we will soon start with the implementation.

Here are some screens and components in Dark Mode - let us know if you have any feedback!

Hi everyone! The team has been working hard to provide a preview of the dark mode version of App Center. We still have some work left to do, but if you would like to try it early on, I can enable it for your account.

Kindly let us know via support if you'd like to try it out!

Thank you,
Blanca

@blparr I'd love to take a look, thanks! Will it adapt based on the user's dark/light theme, as per the CSS spec supported by WebKit?

[xkel]

@tonyarnold Yes, in browsers that support adapting to the OS theme an option will be present to 'auto-theme'!

@smockle Looking forward to it, the brown is a bit weird tho.

I'ma a Dark theme fan, make it please !

I want this so badly, every other dev web service I use has a dark mode so it's a big shock when I go to app center and get this bright dose of white

[tonyarnold]

Could you please also consider adding support for automatically switching between light and dark modes based upon the user's system setting in browsers that support it: https://webkit.org/blog/8840/dark-mode-support-in-webkit/

The explorations look great!

I almost forgot that App Center isn't dark, as I have the DarkReader plugin for Chrome which does a great job at intelligently auto theming pages. Obviously it will be better if the site has a native mode though. This is how I see it
