Hi All, 

 

We would like to let you know that Dark Mode is now available on the Upwork platform. You can change to Dark Mode by following the selecting profile and the top right corner > Theme > Dark Mode.

Below is a screenshot for reference.

Nice, Nicola!

I just had to edit the thread because your first image had some identifying information, which we do not allow in the Community. Here's the Community Guidelines for your reference. Hope that's fine with you!

Thank you Avery! I think I forgot to cover my name...

Another forum page linked me here.

If you're a chrome user, you can download and install extensions which can switch the page to dark mode.

Use it all the time when browsing the web at night

Thank you, buddy! This is quite the addon. Still would love to see a dark theme on the android and ios app. 🙂

I would love to see a Dark Mode Theme in Upwork. As I know most of the Freelancer work with their freedom they might work at night Like Me. Most of the time I work at night time so it will be a great option for me if Upwork Team can make a Dark theme for us. 

what do you guys think?

Thanks

Hi Md Nafiul,

 

Thank you for your feedback, I'll be sure to share this to our team for consideration.

Hi Joanne,
Thank You 

Long story short, upwork make that option or not, doesnt matter.

Just search for darkmode extension for whatever browser you are using and you will be able to turn any website dark with just one click.

I’ve just installed my extension for safari.

Problem solved!!

Cheers!

Interesting idea.
But I'm here to tell you that Upwork is a world of never ending happiness
You can always see the sun, day or night.

Hey @Preston,
Thanks for your feedback. 
But I am a little bit confused about your last line. 
Actually, what do you mean?

So when Preston calls up that shrink in Beverly Hills 
You know the one, Dr. Everything'll-Be-Alright

Sorry, Nafiul, I can’t support your idea. For many years, Upwork team has not been able to bring the Light Mode to a more or less acceptable state. Their attempt to implement Dark Mode will definitely ruin this website completely…

I disagree, I Spent so much time looking for jobs when I don't have one and this mode is TOO BRIGHT for my eyes sir... It will make it LOOK COOL...!!!!

Portfolio thumbnails should look clear and sharp, not blurry. This is especially important for freelancers who work in the graphics area. After thousands of complains and years they have not been able to fix that, so I can't even imagine how much a dark mode would take.

Oh a dark mode would be lovely. One vote more for this.

Long story short, upwork make that option or not, doesnt matter.

You have my voice, bro

Here's a qucik rendition on how it might look based on the job feed. Would really love to have this option as working at night with all that #FFFFFF and #F2F2F2 around is a tad bit tiresome.

Hi Vladimir, 


I'm sorry I had to edit your post as your screen grab contained private information such as your name, and job post names. 

Feel free to upload the screen grab again, making sure to black out your profile name, and your job feed. Thank you for your understanding.

I'm sorry I had to edit your post as your screen grab contained private information such as your name, and job post names. 

Hey Avery, uhm lol... there was NO private information as I did put "Name Surname" instead of my real name and surname. Also, the job posts were edited to keep the private information private; so they were just examples. Robot Frustrated

So here's the reupload.

Please note: I've changed the job post descriptions to the more obvious "Lorem ipsum" text but the name still is "Name Surname", so NONE of the informations (including countries to be extra safe) are real.

I really have no idea why y'all keep deleting this image. It's kinda funny how much you just don't read or look at the posts but edit them mechanically. But hey, I can try agin, lol. Third time's a charm. I'm repeating again: NO INFO IS REAL. NO PRIVATE INFORMATION IS IN THE SCREENSHOT. The text is 'Lorem Ipsum' template and locations/places 'Wakanda' and 'Narnia', It's a dumb example of how you can add an improvement to Upwork. Just an option.

I would love a dark mode option here.

Hi Vladimir, 
How did you do that? I have been trying with extensions, but nothing worked out. Sorry for disturbing!
