    Thank you for providing your ideas to IBM.

    With consistent requests for this capability, and a foundation in 9.2 that can accommodate a suite-wide setting, we are able to take this into plan for a future release. This would be a profile setting for the user, and would impact Manage initially, and expand to as many other applications as possible (MAS Admin, Monitor, MVI, etc). We would be adhering to the Grey 100 theme available in the Carbon Design System. https://carbondesignsystem.com/elements/themes/overview/#theming-applied

Make "Dark Mode" possible in the GUI

Dark Mode Theme

Merged
Implementing a dark mode would be very useful for this new Maximo platform. I'm sure a good amount are used to it not being so bright. Would be nice to have a toggle added for anyone with sensitive eyes.
