Asana "Dark Mode" Color Option

This right here! This isn’t just people requesting the feature because it’s trendy. There are many legitimate reasons why supporting dark themes in 2021 is the bare minimum an app can do in the accessibility realm.

It’s honestly sad that my personal CSS overrides have to be maintained and updated weekly because y’all can’t just make this on your own.

Coda just launched their dark theme. While your users have been patiently waiting for this feature, you’ve gone on to champion so many other features, that all revolve around the business plans. It’s getting old.

Maybe fix your accessibility issues before trying to eek any more money out of us. The amount of time this particular issue has gone on for is nothing more than a slap in the face to us, and a huge red flag for me personally, as it shows where your values stand - with the shareholders, trying to drive profit. Profit is great, but if it stands in the way of accessibility… I’m struggling to find reasons to stay.

Hey guys, I know that other people mentioned it before but I’m here just to confirm that this is not only for trends or aesthetics.
It’s a quality of life improvement and one that’s related to users health.

I’ll just stick to my personal experience. As someone with brightness sensitivity I can’t work on Asana without my glasses on, I don’t have sight problems, it’s just regarding lights and brightness. “Dark Mode” allows me to work long hours without worrying about headaches and nasuea.

Funny seeing you here. :smiley:

Yeah, I agree I don’t want to use 3rd party services connecting with Asana data. Big cyber security risk with connections.

I wonder if you could use an analytics connector (e.g. Power BI or Tableau) to accomplish a more custom timeline look…

Still no dark mode, seriously? I must say i’m not very happy with asana, due to bugs like not being able to delete sections on mobile etc but the missing dark mode is what it is topping it off. When i was using trello you could see the devs working on things at least, there have been new features on an almost weekly basis, dark mode being one of the rather low hanging fruits. i guess i’ll just go back to trello.

I’m leaving. Too much of an ask and no response from Asana on this topic. There are plenty of other products out there. You’re not the only player, Asana.

I can’t count how many times I checked this thread, still no answer from Asana. This white background hurts the eyes when you use dark mode in almost all your tools. Not nice Asana, I don’t want to continue using third-party tools to change colors.

Now that there is a desktop app as well, it needs to not just be a web-rendered app, it ought to have support for automatic dark mode on macOS. #productfeedback

Indeed man. I cannot comprehend how a company the size and budget of Asana cannot have a fully native macos app with the dark native support.

I would take dark mode in browser and ditch the app!

You are a life saver. I just started using asana and lack of Dark Mode was really annoying. Thanks !

@Emily_Roman can you please give us at least a response? Are you monitoring the forum?

Hi @George.C, thanks for reaching out and sharing your feedback with us! I’m afraid we don’t have updates at the moment but we are closely monitoring feedback. We hope to have news soon!

Hi,

And until someone from Asana will react to this- ClickUp has a nice dark mode feature. :wink:
