Support Dark mode for all Launchpad UI

[vedmant]

What would you like?

Dark mode right now is widespread and I think any proper application should support it. Cypress however doesn't have a dark mode. Having system wide dark theme and flashing white when everything is dark is quite uncomfortable.

Would be also a nice feature to switch browser mode white testing and setup default theme in config.

Why is this needed?

• Dark mode of general interface
• Switching light/dark for tests

https://github.com/dingraham/cypress-runner-themes from @dingraham may be helpful for you.

The main interface is dark in 10.0+ versions.

Are you referring to the other pages, wanting those to be in dark mode? I'll be honest, I don't see this work being prioritized.

[vedmant]

@jennifer-shehane Yes, other pages, plus main interface top bar (on right side), it's still white.

Also I think right now it's a single theme for both light and dark system preferences, dark sidebar is dark for light theme as well (which I've seen some people complained about it). I think it just makes sense to support two theme light and dark, nowadays it's a must to have proper dark theme, IMHO.

When it's evening, and all your open windows support dark mode, and specs list is shining at you, it is preferable to be in dark mode too. But I like Cypress anyway :)

@ELigoP checkout my plugin in the meantime, will help a bit with that! https://github.com/dingraham/cypress-runner-themes

I like cypress really to, but darkmode IS important.

the switching between a dark code editor and the light cypress ui drives me crazy at night

i hope the cypress-runner-themes works, thx!
