Atlassian is planning to offer a dark mode or dark theme for Confluence Data Center in 2024.

It's already available as a dark feature (no pun intended :D) but there seems to be a bit more work to do.

Nevertheless, it will be coming. Will you want Linchpin to be compatible with a dark mode? After all, it will probably interfere with the corporate design that a lot of Linchpin customers want to display in their intranet.

Please vote for this issue if you want us to make Linchpin compatible with Confluence's dark mode / dark theme.

To clarify the issue a bit more:

Confluence itself will offer users a choice between a light and a dark theme. So, it's not something an admin decides for everyone, but every user chooses for themselves.

"Light theme" is the way Confluence looks now.

"Dark theme" will be a black background, and all the other elements adjusted in color so everything is still readable.

With Linchpin, we introduce a lot of elements, that as of today don't work well with a black background. I attached a few screenshots to show what I mean.

If we want to support the dark theme with Linchpin, it will be a bit of an effort to adjust all the colors when the dark mode is in use, and maybe offer admins a way to configure the Linchpin theme for Light and Dark Mode seperately.

While we are willing to do that, we'd like to get a feel for how important this issue is to you all, compared to all the other feature requests, so we can prioritize accordingly.
