Dark Mode?

Thank you for continuing to monitor this discussion and share updates with the community.

I wanted to follow up because this request has now been raised by Storyline users for approximately nine years, with consistent engagement and support from instructional designers, e-learning developers, accessibility advocates, and enterprise customers throughout that time.

At this point, the duration of the request is arguably part of the story itself. Very few feature requests remain active and relevant for nearly a decade. The fact that this discussion continues to receive comments and support year after year suggests that the need has not diminished and cannot reasonably be viewed as a short-term trend.

As authoring professionals, many of us spend the majority of our workday in Storyline. During a typical development project, Storyline often remains open for eight to twelve hours at a time while we work alongside applications such as Adobe Creative Cloud, Microsoft 365, development tools, video editing software, and browsers that already support dark themes. The contrast between those modern interfaces and Storyline's bright white workspace remains a significant usability challenge.

I would also respectfully reiterate that Dark Mode is about more than aesthetics. For many users, it directly affects:

• Eye strain and visual fatigue during extended development sessions
• Comfort for individuals with migraines, light sensitivity, or photophobia
• Visual consistency across professional creative and development tools
• Reduced cognitive load when switching between applications
• Improved focus when developing dark-themed or immersive learning experiences

The community has been exceptionally patient and constructive in its feedback. Over nine years, users have continued to explain not only why they want Dark Mode, but how it would improve their daily workflow, accessibility, and overall authoring experience.

Can the product team provide any update on whether a Dark Mode authoring interface is currently being researched, evaluated, or considered for inclusion on the product roadmap?

We greatly appreciate the team's engagement with this discussion and hope that, after nearly a decade of consistent community feedback, this request can move closer to active development consideration.

Thank you for your time and for continuing to listen to the Storyline community.
