None of these solutions are really sufficient, in my opinion. They’re helpful, of course, but it’s they aren’t replacements for a built-in dark mode (or better, a customizable background). The Dark Reader fix inverts images on Miro, which is awful. The workaround with the large frame or image works, but it makes navigation more difficult. It’s also very frustrating to have it as a selectable object, even if it’s locked. The options panel for it is distracting, and it’s horrible if you accidentally double-click anywhere that isn’t the content you actually care about, because suddenly you’re zoomed out to the size of your whole project (or the size you expect your project to be, which might be much larger). 

I find it discouraging that a post 2 years old with half as many comments as there are total suggestions on the forums is ignored by designers when very, very little effort would be required to implement a robust feature for background customization. They implemented the dotted background when that was requested, and that request was made 1 year ago. I just don’t understand.

@Maybe Anonymous :

Till this time there is no dark mode available.

Please vote for it here:

Workaround ( not a complete solution, but is more then nothing )

1. Create a big canvas (rectangle)
2. Set Your Color
3. Lock it in place so its unselectable and you can work on top of that.

Thank me later :)

Please add a dark mode.

What’s there more important?

Hello everone,

We have decided not to renew our 4 seat subscription because of this. ($400 per year)

We are not coming back until there's a properly implemented dark mode.

Cheers!

A fix for dark mode. Install this extension in any browser. It has several settings such as brightness, contrast, etc. to adjust to your liking--->Dark Reader

This is fundamental UX.  On large HDR monitors Miro is blinding. I’m not going to waste my time searching for workarounds, enduring eye strain, headaches, and other problems because a paid app ignores the most fundamental principles of UX.

Really Miro? No dark mode?

Wish there was a dark mode

Figma did it? I understand it is kind of difficult perhaps… At least making a dark background?

Really thinking on canceling my team’s subscription because of no Dark mode...

REALLY MIRO? No Dark Mode?

Thinking of jumping ship to OneNote just to avoid the retina-roasting glare? Well, that's one way to avoid a 'bright' idea! Miro, my eyeballs are filing a complaint, and they've lawyered up! Let's dim the drama with some dark mode, pronto!  #BlindedByTheLight

not a good solution for shared boards.

As for ‘whining’? come on dude… visual impairment is a real thing

MIRO!
When do you plan to provide Dark Mode? Drawing tools are usually used with bigger screens.
Can you imagine working with Miro on 32” screen? It’s like a strong bulb lamp in front of your eyes!

I have another workaround:
Use it in Google Chrome and install the AddOn “Dark Reader” then enable it.

@Mike Slivinski
Setting dark reader’s mode to Filter or Filter+ works. It may not look the best and i have not thoroughly tested it, but it works fine with background, text, and even attempts to invert pictures.

Inverting pictures is precisely why it is not a viable solution. All colors and images are inverted because of the way Miro serves the app content. This makes it impossible to collaborate when images and colors are extremely relevant to the work being done.

So what's the holdup its been 3 years already? No dark mode in 2025? Miro is still living in the early 2000s.

Please add dark mode. The lack of this feature is the only reason I actively look for alternative platforms.

For those who are using the latest version of Dark Reader, you can turn all dark with this option:

And for those who doesnt understand why dark mode is so important, let me ask: how many hours do you think developers spend in front of a screen?I can't even work on a laptop that doesn't have to set the brightness super low or after 6 hours of work I'll end up wanting to cut my head with a chainsaw because it would hurt less that way

This is just ridiculous. Any other vendor on the planet seems to be capable of providing a proper dark mode aligned with the OS settings, since users obviously want it and are using it. Why on earth would you simply ignore that fact?
Miro is one of the No.1 tools used when it comes to the need for such a tool and regularly I am forced to using it because of that. I personally would never choose it - this here is one of the reasons why.

Sure that helps like 3% I guess. But when I want to export something & PDF it, I should print it out on a solid black full-page background? Lol no thanks unless you’re trying to pay for my ink cartridges.

Should everyone change all 937 of each of their boards elements & text colors & background colors back to white during the day time too?
 

Sounds like a lot of extra work.

Its my second day of using miro and i just found out that there’s no dark theme… I mean it’s kind of insane, no? It’s 2025, every app has a dark mode nowadays, how can one of the best whiteboard apps not have it??? And apparently it’s been like this for 4 years? I’m very disappointed, not even that much with the fact itself, but that the team would ignore something like this for so long. Like if the app lacks this, what other obviously needed things does it not have? Time to find out… well, at least I didn’t spend any money yet lol.
