Brand Kit dark mode

Hi Mehul, thanks for the detailed idea here, especially calling out the logo variant piece alongside the dark mode toggle itself. Those really do need to work together, a light logo against a bright background and that same logo against a dark one are two different contrast problems.

To confirm where things stand today, Brand Kit doesn't currently support an automatic dark mode toggle, and there isn't a way to attach a separate logo variant that gets applied automatically when a course switches themes.

One thing I'm curious about, are you picturing this as something that follows the learner's own system or browser dark mode setting automatically, or more of a manual toggle the course author sets when building a course meant to be dark themed? That distinction changes the shape of the request quite a bit, and it would help to know which matters more for your use case.

In the meantime, you can duplicate your existing Brand Kit to quickly create a dark themed variant, covered in this article, Using Brand Kits to Style Your Content. Swap in your dark appropriate logo and adjust the colors on the copy, then apply that version manually to any courses you want in a dark theme. It's not automatic switching, but it does let you maintain consistent, correct branding for dark themed courses today without starting from scratch.
