What is Dark Theme?

Updated on

Dark Theme (or Dark Mode) allows you to change the overall Sakai system color scheme to light text on a dark background, as opposed to the default dark text on light background. Utilizing Dark Theme offers benefits such as reducing your device's energy consumption and minimizing eye strain when working in low-light environments.

If your device's operating system is set to dark mode, the system will automatically enable Dark Theme in the application.
