Dark Interface (overall UI including side panels) / Dark mode
The option for a darker interface like Photoshop and Illustrator would be great, especially when working at night.

XD is one of my favorite design tools. It's made me loathe working in Photoshop. But, for a UX/UI tool, the rigid interface and workflow is extremely frustrating and surprising.
I suggest a swift and meaty upgrade to the following:
Dock-able tool pallets - working with layers and the library of elements we've created is painstaking slow, resulting in millions of wasted clicks back-and-forth in a constant search for layers and components. (see UX, workflow, and panel preference control of Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Animator, and AfterEffects)
Ability to show thumbnails of components at any size for easy identification - identifying components would be simpler and quicker if the thumbnails were larger (see Photoshop layers panel icon size preferences)
Ability to darken workspace - and accessibility feature that every major brand UX is embracing (see Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Animator, and AfterEffects, Chrome, Gmail, Apple everything, Microsoft Office, etc)
Ability to access and work with component states and layers more easily - navigating component states and the layers within in is a challenge. When changing states, folders close and layers refresh. If your component is made of several nested layers, the workflow of editing the states of a component becomes a tedious process of back-and-forth layer hunting.
The upgrade to the component system you made in the last year have been game changing, but frustrations and bottlenecks in workflow are a making working with XD slower and less enjoyable.

I would love to see this feature implemented. I spend most of my day in this application. There is always an internal sigh of relief when I have to switch to one of the Adobe products or other software with dark mode, even if it is only for a moment.

This is the single most annoyance that keeps me from using XD for real. Adobe, listen to your users please.

Thats so sad... my whole team is switching to invision because of things like this one. Adobe does not give a sh*t on what their customers want, no matter how many votes feature requests have... And they keep wondering why their market shares are going down...

It feels very inconsistent with all of Adobe's other product line AI, PS, etc... - which have had or even defaulted to dark mode for YEARS to not even have it as an option in their shiney new product.

This dark mode feature is very easy to realize but why does Adobe like not listening to the users who ask, come on people will hurt their eyes if they have to work long time in front of a white screen, especially those whose laptops still use TN screens, will be very tormenting users.

why is it so hard adobe to add the dark mode feature to adobe xd? whereas the dark mode feature is much in demand from users but not granted, strange.

This is the 5th most voted for request and it's still stuck in the backlog. Seriously? This should have been rolled out years ago.
