๐ค Introducing Dark Mode in Wrike: A Much-Awaited Feature is Here ๐ค
รpinglรฉe En avant
Hello everyone ๐
Many of you have been waiting for this day to come ๐ถ๏ธ
We are beyond excited to announce that one of the most requested features, Dark Mode, is finally here ๐ค We have been listening to your feedback, and after much anticipation, we are thrilled to roll out this addition to our platform.
This new feature gives you the flexibility to select an appearance that suits your preference - light, dark, or match system settings. We understand that each of our users has unique needs and preferences, and this is a step towards giving you more control over your Wrike experience โ๏ธ
To enable Dark Mode, click on your profile menu and choose Workspace appearance:
Thatโs where youโll be able to set up the Dark Mode:
And voilร !
๐ดHere are some important points to know about this initial release of Dark Mode:
- Limited Theme Availability. At the moment, Dark Mode will only be available for Wrike's default theme, "Midnight". If you have another workspace theme active in the theme gallery, these sidebar and accent colors will not be preserved when you switch into Dark Mode. But don't worry, we're already working on extending Dark Mode support to all workspace themes. We anticipate this to be released during Q1 2024.
- White-labeled Workspace Themes. For customers with a white-labeled workspace theme, Dark Mode will not be immediately available. But we're working on it and expect to deliver Dark Mode for these themes within the next quarter.
- Team Plan Limitation. The theme gallery is not available in the Team plan, so currently there's no way for Team plan customers to enable Dark Mode.ย
We understand these are limitations but rest assured we are working diligently to make Dark Mode fully functional across all themes, and we appreciate your patience and support during this initial rollout.
A huge thank you to everyone whoโs been sharing their feedback and supporting this Community suggestion - the release of the Dark Mode wouldnโt be possible without your input ๐ค
We're excited to hear your feedback on this long-awaited feature. Let us know what you think, and feel free to ask any questions you may have below!ย
This is great news!ย
Love it!ย So much easier on the eyes
I'm not a huge fan of dark modes in general. Usually, the execution is poorly if the app wasn't designed with dark mode in mind. But, and a big one, Wrike's dark mode is a real winner! Feels even better than the regular/light mode. Huge props to the UX & design team :)
Thank you for getting this implemented!
Love it!
My eyes thank you!!! Great job.ย
Love it!

Happy to see you are already enjoying the Dark Mode! ๐๐ค
Thank goodness! Chrome experimental adversely affected other apps that it didn't work well with.
Probably the best Christmas present from Wrike!
Note that - at least in Edge - switching Wrike to dark mode also affects other tabs in the same browser profile. Switching Wrike back doesn't change that, or restarting the browser. ๐ #bug?
I can see you've sorted this now John Egleston ๐ Please let me know if there's anything else we can help you with!ย

Hi,
Can you please change the blueish hue of the midnight theme? Blue is actually more straining on the eyes (https://www.healthline.com/health/what-is-blue-light#is-blue-light-bad-for-your-eyes) and something either pure black or something with a red tint would be much better.ย
You have a few purplish options in the light side bar colors that would be a much better option, but I think people ideally just want it to be pure black or grey.ย
Thanks.
The dark mode is more like midnight blue than dark mode. Can you please add an option for actual dark mode?
Hi folks, thank you both for sharing your feedback, I'll let our team know your thoughts! ๐

Hi Michelle Tsaltas, Joel Bohi! I'm Beau from Wrike's Product Design team.
Thanks for your comments on dark mode. We're actively working on bringing a new Monochrome theme to Wrike that will feature pure grey and black neutral tones, without the blue tint you see in the Midnight theme. We'll also be bringing dark mode to all our workspace themes and introducing small updates to the existing sidebar themes.
We're hoping to have it released in October or November! Here's a small preview:
Beau Roberts I love it! Thank you for the change and the update. Can't wait for it :)ย
