Hey folks,
As a dev and doctor, I spend way too much time staring at screens, and light themes just don’t cut it anymore. I know I’m not alone—this can be tough on everyone’s eyes, especially for those working long hours.
What do you think about a dark mode for OpenMRS? It’s not just about comfort; it’s about taking care of our community’s health too. Who’s with me?
Let’s make it happen! 
Cheers
Hi Filipe!
Thank you for raising this! We’ve certainly heard (and seen!) a lot about screen fatigue… particularly when looking at the screen over prolonged periods or using OpenMRS at night, in IPD, for example.
We host a weekly Design Office Hours call which I think would be a good forum to start a discussion on what this project might look like and to take some soundings from our developer community. I’ll add it to the agenda for this week and will provide an update in this thread afterwards.
Cheers, Paul
Hi Paul,
Thanks for your reply and for adding this topic to the Design Office Hours agenda! I was wondering how the discussions went and if there are any updates or next steps regarding the project.
Looking forward to hearing more! 
Would it be possible to implement a dark mode for the Wiki and forum as well? I’ve been spending a lot of time studying these days, and the bright white screens can be quite tiring after 10+ hours a day. A dark mode would make the experience much more comfortable!
Thanks for considering this! @grace
Dark mode is already available on the OpenMRS wiki. Simply click on your profile icon in the top-right corner and select “Dark” under the theme options.
