"Night mode" or low contrast themes have been available for software development kits for a decade now. It is slowly creeping into mainstream applications as well. Adobe Creative Suite has offered "dark mode" skins in their software since the last release of Creative Suite CS6 in 2012.
The other problem is that the Dark Mode gives you a black/white option, not necessarily the ability to preserve a relatively lighter look with a non-white background, which would be much easier on the eyes.

Interesting idea, I've never seen this in software before. Does any of the other software you use have this feature?
I did a quick search online and found this setting in Windows that might help: https://www.windowscentral.com/12-days-tech-tips-use-windows-10s-night-light-improve-sleep-quality-and-reduce-eye-strain
Microsoft Office apps (Word, Excel, Powerpoint etc) now have a dark mode version.
I agree this would much easier on the eyes.
Thanks Adebowale! I've submitted a feature request so we can track this idea.
Adobe also incorporates similar environments in their products.

Dark mode would be lovely :)
As long as there was a choice of, say, two or three color modes that would be the absolute best and great to have.
I knew quite a few folks who hate dark mode, despite the advantages, myself included.
I'm afraid if Articulate changed this it would be "one way" only. Give folks choice on more things, please.
