Light mode button? #576
Comments
It's not yet supported ( waiting UI mockups, etc.) so in fact the default mode is dark but to turn it to dark mode, all styles should be prefixed by dark: Website is implementing both light and dark mode (+ a toggle) |
I would appreciate light theme support, as dark themes are not suitable for everyone. |
Indeed. Not having a light mode poses significant accessibility issues. |
I'd also love to see light mode support. It's difficult for me to use this in dark mode due to my own vision problems, and I'd consider them relatively mild. |
I would be fine even just passing a flag to the startup script or a hidden key combination. Here is a good article detailing and demonstrating (with slightly exaggerated pictures) how someone with astigmatism views light on dark: https://bootcamp.uxdesign.cc/why-dark-mode-isnt-a-ux-panacea-1590226e5ba4 |
there is a new setting which is hidden as if light mode is asked it will be still displayed with dark theme But it toggles on or off the dark theme support then we can use dark: prefix in the codebase to make the style being specific for the dark theme related to containers#576 Signed-off-by: Florent Benoit <fbenoit@redhat.com>

To be honest (and I'm sorry to sound harsh), I find it nonchalant to fail acting on this request that's been reported 1.5 years ago. No, I don't think it's that hard to create a bright mode version. (It may be suboptimized, possibly distributed separately or such, as long as it's present.) Imagine someone in a wheelchair who can't access a building but no ramp or other workaround is provided. It's legally dubious and definitely wrong ethically. It's the same with visual impediments. It's not about "make it my preferred color because it's cool". It's about "I can't use the tool because of medical reasons". And before someone arrogantly replies that I'm free to choose another tool, I can tell you that I actually lost a job recently because the employer make a judgement call to only allow Podman. And I simply couldn't work efficiently. It's degrading and discriminating to people with special predisposition. It should be done better if aspiring to be a serious software vendor. |
@Viltersten despite it seems there is no activity there, we worked on making several components in the UI to ensure we'll be able to bring the mode. We introduced also a flag to make it light mode possible in the future. And drafted something I agree that it's not moving as fast as expected. |
@Viltersten Hey. I'm the lead UX designer involved in the tool, so I feel this is my failing and I want to own it. I don't think anyone from the team would ever dismiss this very legitimate concern arrogantly pointing out that you can use another tool. This is more a combination of two things - I hope it might help in some way to point out, and neither involves a belief this isn't an important and legitimate issue:
I am really very sorry that this has taken so long :( I have astigmatism myself and as of late have been having some challenges with my vision, so to be honest it impacts me as well. We would also love your (and anyone else interested) feedback on proposed lightmode palettes to make sure they will work well for you. So please let me know if you're willing to test and I'll be sure to reach out when we have something to look at in terms of palette, then something to try when we have something working. |
@mairin I found your latest comment to be sincere, and I think everyone can appreciate your honesty. You mentioned wanting to do it right. On that note, I think it would be best if we were able to select light mode, dark mode, or system (e.g., if system is configured for light mode use light mode). |
Correct, that is the plan (and I believe system would be the default). |
any update on this? I would love to give it a try if there are any pull requests that I can pull and use I will. I like many can't use the dark theme and I am excited to use this tool when the light theme is ready! |
hello @greg-hydrogen there was some progress but it's not yet visible on the UI. (some properties are now used instead of some hardcoded color values). We'll update this ticket once something will be applied on the whole UI |
I don't know how we missed updating this issue, but light mode was completed and available in current releases! |
Is your enhancement related to a problem? Please describe
I can't seem to find a button / setting to switch Podman Desktop interface to light mode?
Describe the solution you'd like
I see code such as: ad6f4fc
But I'm unable to find a button or documentation describing how to switch the GUI to light mode.
