Night Mode for JIRA / Confluence

Gregor Murrill

My eyeballs are bleeding! Staring at screens so many hours per day.

I'm using a night mode browser plugin, ("Dark Night Mode for Chrome) but it leads to weird effects in JIRA. White boxes and some components not visible. I wonder if a night mode will ever come to JIRA or Confluence?

here are some open suggestions. you might want to vote/watch:

JSDCLOUD-7937

interesting there appears to be "darkfeatures" but you cannot change at least in Cloud it appears but have not spent time playing.

Gregor Murrill

I actually gave up on dark themes altogether because they are not offered on any of the applications I use for work, or they only offer partial dark modes which are useless...

Instead I recommend to the folks here on Windows to enable the invert display under accessibility options. You can use hotkey Ctrl+ Win + C to toggle back and forth between regular display and inverted colors.

This has been a usable solution for me. I can leave all my dumb applications on their regular screaming-white settings, and then toggle the whole thing black. I only have to toggle back to bright/regular when I'm viewing image files, but this isn't a big part of my job.

As a bonus it isn't an extra application to run bogging down my machine.

For Jira Server > 7.0.0 you can use the Dark Theme App which allowes every user to turn the dark theme off/on:

https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1221577/darktheme?hosting=server

But it's not designed for Confluence :-(

My eyes say "thank you". Awesome input!

The Dark Reader Chrome extension seems to work better with no artifacts at my configuration.

There is also a feature request for JIRA Server: https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRASERVER-63150

Please vote !

Lucas Riutzel

I'm assuming only administrators can install this?

Here you have new Dark Mode chrome extension -- https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/night-mode-for-jira/nlgcogdbamhmdbpaabmpklojolokodaa

Works like a charm, including Confluence and other Atlassian staff.

Joshua Baker

For what seems like such a simple request that is widely implemented by other web apps, this all seems way to complicated. Ideally we'd be able to use skins like in Atom/Sublime. I sure would prefer Solarized Light to the current color layout on Jira.

Huh, on my browser, Jira glitches out and parts of the spa are rendered white for a short time before turning black.

thanks

Note: That Confluence issue link is not related to a dark (night) theme. For Confluence Server, a more relevant issue is CONFSERVER-59063, and for Confluence Cloud, CONFCLOUD-69537.

Tomáš Vojvoda

You need to pay for it and only available for servers, .. not a good solution

m h_0pla15

- how can dark mode on server products be configured?
- is there a way for admins to upload a style sheet, e.g.?
- The Mac app only connects to hosted Jira Cloud, not Jira Server, correct?

Companies running Server versions: Jira, Confluence, Bitbucket
JRASERVER-63150 upvote for Jira Server.
BSERV-9949 Bitbucket server upvote Dark Theme
CONFSERVER-59063 confluence server dark mode

An "upvote here" link is not a "Solved", imo.

m h_0pla15

also, a plugin affects n websites. I am developing web products. I leave my browser 100% stock. Otherwise, it's easy to miss issues experienced by people without the addon.

This is a great plug-in. Set up the Site List (inverted listed only) to only apply to atlassian site, other sites are unaffected. Thanks!

Nicolas Casel

Thank you all for your contributions.

It is possible to get the (Atlassian) Dark mode via the AUI:

https://aui.atlassian.com/aui/latest/docs/dark-mode.html

So another option would be to get the color values used in this Dark mode (but how to get them?), and to apply them in 'Custom Colour Scheme' at space level (url is: https:// [your domain name]/wikis/spaces/dochangecolourscheme.action?key=[your wiki space] )

Here, another Chrome dark mode extension, Dark Reader: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/dark-reader/eimadpbcbfnmbkopoojfekhnkhdbieeh/related?hl=en

Works like a charm

If you're already using Stylus, I created a Userstyle theme that automatically updates. I just added a couple of changes this month.

Please check it out:

Thank God you did it!! Thats much.. much better!!

Tom Belton

This doesn't seem to work in Confluence as the OP suggests

Daniel Eriksson_zz64gt

Thanks, this seems really good so far

Jayson Ambrose_vhake0

Highly recommend installing Stylus Chrome Extension.

You can browse various styles from within the extension.

The best one I have found so far is Jira Dark 2020.

Adan Alvarado

If it gets out of sync, you can also try my take on it

ok that's very nice. how do i get this on jira cloud?

Neil Wills_3vfe1i

I used a chrome extension to apply dark theme

RogerThomas

https://darkreader.org/ is now going a good job of resolving this for me across Atlassian's product set and much of the dated internet (including the site of the business I work at).

Mark Newell_p2m2jj

That works OK but in some cases the inversion colors are pretty bad.

Anyway, found this and it seems to work pretty well but it only affects Jira

The Jira Dark mode extension works great, but now Atlassian is starting to charge for it. This is table stacks and should just be supported by the product!

Alan Fitzgerald_d2n7wh

This is my new go-to since Atlassian is charging extra for theirs...

Umwelt Company

In the name of God! Jesus! Why?! Why?! There is an instruction how to set the dark mode, but it's not working! It's written that in settings there is a "Theme" tab, but it's not there. Why should we suffer? Is it so difficult to give us a dark mode?!
