How many of you use the so-called dark mode on your cell phone - the function that simply reverses the colors of texts and backgrounds of websites and apps? Black text on a white background is displayed in white on a black background. Major manufacturers such as Apple, Google, Microsoft and others have been offering this function in their operating systems for some time. Dark mode is intended to reduce eye strain. Studies have also concluded that, depending on the screen technology used, the dark screen colors are easier on the smartphone battery. We thought we wouldn't want to withhold these benefits from you. And that's why the first version of a dark mode is now available on Migipedia. To activate the mode, you can move the slider at the top right from "Sun" to "Moon" and the light on Migipedia will be switched off. Yes, not everything is perfect yet and we have not yet managed to completely remove all white areas. The contrast between text and background is also definitely not yet optimal - but we're working on it. I've already been able to test the mode over the last few days. Especially when I'm on Migipedia in the evening, for example, preparing content for the next day or immersing myself in your discussions, I found the dark mode very pleasant. And that brings me back to the question from the beginning: How many of you use dark mode on your cell phone ... and on Migipedia as well? Best regards, Philipp

Hi Philipp I don't use dark mode on my smartphone, but I use it all the time on outlook.com on my computer. The whole page is black there, and now I've set Migipedia to dark to give it a try. The different shades of gray are funny, and after just a few minutes I can say: yes, it's less straining on the eyes. But also: the text input field here could be darker, so that it is even easier on the eyes and the contrast to the white text is better. Greetings Nachtspalter
Hehey, so good! The very next time I write, the text input window is darker! That went super smoothly! Thank you! It's great!
Hi Philipp I've now spent some time with dark mode and I still think it's basically good. The darker the background, the better and more pleasant the text is to read. Orange fonts and dark backgrounds clash; I find them hard to read - especially the characters set in regular, such as the user names in the activity stream. I suggest that in dark mode you generally do without orange characters (I'm also thinking of the star that is set here in the top left-hand field next to the word "Reply"), but leave the buttons orange. Greetings Nachtspalter
Where is the slider in the app?
If you mean the Migros app: Nowhere. This is only about Migipedia. The slider cannot be found on migros.ch either.
