[FeatureRequest]: Automatic light/dark mode switching based on OS preferences #31751

Open grmat opened 3 years ago

grmat commented 3 years ago

What would you like to be added: Respect the user's setting for prefers-color-scheme to automatically choose between light and dark modes.

Why is this needed: All major desktops support some kind of automated day/night switch by now, which will usually also toggle the prefers-color-scheme preference in web browsers. Respecting this preference by default while keeping the Grafana preferences to be able to override it would result in better UX, IMHO.

The way I could imagine this is by

  1. utilising the Default option in Grafana's preferences page (Default | Dark | Light). On loading, check for prefers-color-scheme
    1. if not present, fall back to current Default behaviour
    2. dark: load dark.css
    3. light: load light.css
  2. adding another option (Default | Dark | Light | OS)

Apologies, I thought adding a comment would be enough to have the stale tag removed.
