Lots of Jira users are very excited about the fact that Jira has now joined the trend of dark mode!
In recent years, an increasing number of people have embraced the stylish dark theme for their digital environments. As night mode capabilities have become more widespread, users have been able to enjoy the unique aesthetics of dark themes, as well as the adjustable color palettes that come with them.
Before, the only way to get a dark mode for Jira was through a browser extension. It is a great improvement for Jira that dark mode is now integrated, as this allows users to switch between a light and dark color scheme, which can have a positive impact on their user experience and help reduce eye fatigue.
The Dark Scheme gives users the option to personalize their workspace to create a soothing, low-light environment:
In dark mode, the primary interface shifts from light gray to a sleek black while most of the text changes to a bright white. Many of the navigational elements and icons become easier to identify, helping users navigate the page quickly. For those who want an even more efficient workspace, the dark mode can help conserve battery life by limiting the amount of brightness emitted from the display, enabling users to work longer and more comfortably.
Enabling Jira dark mode is a breeze! Users can effortlessly switch between different color palettes by following these simple steps in their "Settings" menu:
Sign in to your Jira account.
Go to the "My Account" section.
Locate the "Theme" option and activate Jira dark mode.
Enjoy the soothing and stylish interface of Jira's dark mode!
After completing these steps, you'll witness a remarkable transformation of the entire user interface into the captivating Jira dark mode. But don't worry, you have complete control over your visual experience! Jira offers four fantastic theme options for your computer screen: Light Mode, Dark Mode, Original Mode, and Match System.
In case you want to disable Jira dark mode, simply revisit the same section and choose the delightful "Light Mode" option or any other preference that suits your style.
Enjoy the flexibility and freedom to customize your Jira experience according to your preferences!
