So I found that the only way to enable Dark Mode for Box in a Chrome Browser is to go into Chrome Settings, search for “dark”, and change it to “Enabled”.

 

Interesting enough, mine was set to “Default” which reads its setting from the OS.  As my OS is in dark mode, most websites could tell that I wanted dark mode, but not Box.  I think the Box devs may be checking for this wrong.  In fact I’m not even sure how they are doing this.  There is a CSS check that does this for dark OS’s with chrome at “Default” and/or “Enabled”:

@media (prefers-color-scheme: dark) { /* Styles for dark mode */  }

 

I was surprised that nobody has asked about this.  Anyway, hope my tip above helps someone get dark mode working, and I hope this message can get to the Box devs.

👋 Hi ​@Jroonk, welcome to the Box Community! Thank you for sharing the information on how to enable dark mode based on user preferences.

 

Currently, Box is designed with a light background. I tried updating it on my end, but only the top part of Chrome and some other areas outside of Box became dark. It seems there may be some limitations with the settings or specific webpages. Nonetheless, I still love it and will keep the changes. 🖤


At the moment, dark mode is not supported for any of our apps, including the web app. We have received a feature request for a Dark Mode Option in Box Pulse, but it's not on our roadmap yet, so there's no set timeline for when it will be available. That said, we are laying the groundwork to enable dark mode in the future.


Our Product team is always looking for ways to improve Box based on user feedback. We encourage you to upvote this idea or submit a feature request in Box Pulse. Thanks again for your feedback and ideas to help shape the future of Box.


Have an amazing day! 🤗
