I nearly go blind every time I open dropbox, how can you guys have been around so long yet you still don't have a simple toggle to change the CSS style to a darker color to not blind your users? Se...

Can you please develop a dark theme for the desktop(browser), and apps,  so I don't have to light up the whole room and bother those around me and get eye strain from the bright white screen.

Thank you.

    Hi there bennyw, 
     
    Could you please clarify what you’re referring to? Is it the website, the desktop app, or the mobile app?
     
    Any additional info so as to have a better understanding of your feedback would be very helpful. 
     
    Thanks in advance!

      Thanks Lusil.  I'm talking about the Desktop app, and the iOS apps. The white background is too bright for viewing in a dark room.

      The smart invert feature works well on my iphone and ipad, so that help me a bit.

      Youtube even has a dark theme.
