🌓 Introducing dark mode for Confluence whiteboards

[#1]

Hey everyone! 👋 

We are excited to announce dark mode has landed in Confluence whiteboards! With dark mode, you get an eye-friendly interface that reduces screen glare and helps you concentrate during those long brainstorming sessions.

To enable dark mode for Confluence whiteboards, navigate to your avatar located at the top right corner of the Confluence interface. From the dropdown menu, find the 'theme' option. Additionally, you can choose 'match browser' to allow Confluence to adjust to your device's theme settings automatically.

We're excited for you to experience Confluence whiteboards in dark mode! Share your thoughts and suggestions with us — we value your feedback!

Thanks,

Eden Gorton, Confluence whiteboards Product Designer

Congrats 😀

My whiteboards are darkboards since some weeks (at least before Easter). But what I see is, if I embed a board into another page, the darkboard is a whiteboard again. 
Is this fixed now?

If I enable dark mode for whiteboards, does it also rename the whiteboard to a "blackboard" or a "dark board"? 😁

[Christina Ristevski]

@Thorsten Kamann this is a known limitation - we're investigating a fix! Thanks for the shout out. 

[Christina Ristevski]

@Matthias Gaiser _K15t_ it unfortunately does not! 😄

Great update!

PS: I would pay money for Dark Board to be a real term 😀

Do you have a roadmap accessible somewhere to know when you expect key features to be released?
- Search text feature
- Export text feature
- Comment feature
- History
Etc...

Nice one. Thanks for sharing.

Does this make it a blackboard?

[Sean Blezard]

I run my Mac, iPad, and iPhone in dark mode, but I don't understand product companies' obsession with this feature. It's nice, sure, but when you leave more important features on the table to pursue this one, I worry about the prioritisation. 

Atlassian - double down on Whiteboard and you can dominate the market

If an app has a dark mode I use it.

Great Update !

[Summer Hogan]

This is awesome @Eden Gorton! I noticed that even though I have conlfuence set to dark mode, whiteboards were still in light mode, so totally love this feature. I also love both the terms "blackboard" and "darkboard" too! 

[Brant Schroeder]

Everyone loves dark mode.

fantastic, just about every app, page and screen on my machine that can be "dark mode", is ... wish it could be the same for forums, groups, Atlassian everything, etc.
