Dark Interface (overall UI including side panels)

The option for a darker interface like Photoshop and Illustrator would be great, especially when working at night.

    Should have had the same theme options as the other Adobe Applications from V1, no questions asked.

    If your product team have a reason behind why it has taken over three years to not even implement a dark theme that already is implemented in all other Adobe applications and has been requested by over 2000+ users then I would love to hear it.

    "Let's add support for Game Controllers though because so many of our users have requested it."

    Look, I enjoy degrading my vision scores as much as the rest of the guys in here. Would be super swell to see this feature lifted from backlog to 'started' status. This is long, long overdue and I'd consider it a basic feature especially when considering the fact that most Adobe applications offer some kind of UI brightness config option.

    It's gotten to the point to where I refuse to use this software at night. If Adobe's plan was to give designers a tool to speed up our workflow and also ramp up the quality of app prototypes out there, this is a horrendous way to approach accomplishing that goal. If it was to give daytime warriors an edge over the rest of us introverted, nocturnal nighttime heathens, then I salute you Adobe.

    So we doing this or what?

    So this feature has been under review for three years...

    Edit: An Adobe platform called Experience Design shouldn't take three years to consider basic user accessibility issues such as dark mode.

    come on fam, my eyes are hurting. i love the app but...ya know.. sketch has dark mode..might have to swich back... this is not a threat..just sayin ;)

    I'm not sure why I have to mention all this stuff. Adobe post so many articles how to do UI design right in their XD blog, but can't do it right themselves. Also I'll probably file a feature request to turn notifications off - also the great UI feature.

    I'm used to switch light/dark interface in Photoshop or Illustrator depending on what I am doing. If I'm doing something for print (especially if it's meant to be on white paper) I'll use light theme. If I'm doing something for game or mobile device I'll use dark theme.
    It's very simple: printed materials are usually viewed in good light conditions with lot's of light on the background (real world background), games and mobile apps are usually viewed on a screen with black borders and often at night or just poor lights (because screens emit their own light).

    Adobe XD team, please, try for yourself to design a great dark mode interface in Adobe XD.

    You probably know how we humans perceive contrast. Like it feels different when dark object is surrounded by dark or light background.

    I have to turn my PC's brightness down to not be blinded by light interface of XD, but at the same time I barely can read the light grey text on dark grey background. But if I make it pure white and black, it will hurt my (and I guess everyone's) eyes on a phone, where the brightness is not turned down. You know, every manufacturer is giving night/dark modes to their phones.

    hello. The light mode for Adobe XD is so disturbing and making my eyes to strain a little bit and also I can't work on projects in the night. You would really help if you come up with a dark version.

    We are waiting for a dark interface, during the night this light user interface is very annoying.
