In spite of being an emo, the dark mode is actually
too dark
right now. The old one was better, in my humble and emotive opinion. ThxLog In

Hey everyone, thanks for taking the time to provide your feedback on the recent dark mode changes. We truly appreciate your input and will certainly consider adding a third option in the future!
For some context, the color adjustments were made to enhance color contrast accessibility across the app, following standard guidelines like those from Radix UI Colors. Our goal is to make the app more accessible and consistent for everyone, across various areas inside ClickUp.
In the interim, before we add a third option, is there anything specific with this update that needs to be addressed immediately. As examples, task borders, buttons blending in too much with text, etc.
Thank you for your patience as we try to improve the experience for everyone.

It's been over 2 months now. Thanks to the help of Rafael Healy Chacón below, I was able to get ClickUp's dark mode looking to quite close to what it used to using the method and modified CSS posted below.

Can we get an option to toggle high normal vs high contrast? That seems to be the way some companies are goapproacThath taken by some companies are going.

Please restore the previous Dark Mode as an option.

While the context and intent was "to enhance color contrast accessibility", our teams have found that these changes have reduced readability. What are Radix's qualifications regarding contrast accessibility? Do these adjustments meet Web Content Accessibility Guideline AA or AAA standards?

Begging you to change this - both modes hurt my eyes, this is so hard to work with.

We are looking at transferring from another program to ClickUp. The dark mode being so dark is a real hesitation point
Our current program has Light / Dark / Night modes. Dark is a fantastic grey/dark blue balance which is so easy on the eyes.
I'm finding ClickUp's dark mode to be hard to read at a quick glance. Would LOVE if you could please make a dark (but not black) mode. I'd sub instantly. Thank you!

It is posible to edit the CSS to "make your own theme". I used a chrome extenison to save the changes and have them load every time.
Chrome extension: User JavaScript and CSS https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/user-javascript-and-css/nbhcbdghjpllgmfilhnhkllmkecfmpld
My personal changes made:
body.dark-theme, .dark-sidebar {
--_cu-grey1100: 238, 238, 238;
--_cu-grey1000: 186, 186, 186;
--_cu-grey900: 136, 136, 136;
--_cu-grey800: 125, 125, 125;
--_cu-grey700: 113, 113, 113;
--_cu-grey600: 91, 91, 91;
--_cu-grey500: 79, 79, 79;
--_cu-grey400: 71, 71, 71;
--_cu-grey300: 65, 65, 65;
--_cu-grey200: 58, 58, 58;
--_cu-grey100: 50, 50, 50;
--_cu-grey50: 43, 43, 43;
--_cu-grey25: 36, 36, 36;
}
I'm also attaching excel file to easily adjust to your liking.

Hey Rafael! I have good news. I took your code, and played around with it a bit until I got as close as I could to the prior Dark Mode colors.
body.dark-theme, .dark-sidebar {
--_cu-grey1100: 240, 240, 240;
--_cu-grey1000: 190, 190, 190;
--_cu-grey900: 140, 143, 150;
--_cu-grey800: 125, 128, 135;
--_cu-grey700: 110, 113, 120;
--_cu-grey600: 90, 93, 100;
--_cu-grey500: 80, 83, 90;
--_cu-grey400: 72, 75, 82;
--_cu-grey300: 65, 68, 75;
--_cu-grey200: 60, 63, 70;
--_cu-grey100: 54, 57, 63;
--_cu-grey50: 48, 51, 57;
--_cu-grey25: 42, 45, 51;
}
First pic is the modified CSS code that I dropped into the "User Javascript and CSS" Chrome extension, and the second picture is the resulting look that I achieved through the modifications. Thanks!

I find that it also differs from screen to screen. For example, the dark mode of Outlook is much better or that of Notion. My idea would be a controller that allows the different areas to be regulated individually. In other words, in color and intensity. In this way, everyone could individually see how things fit with them.

There is not enough contrast between the different sections in dark mode. Cards on Home, pop-up to add a field to a view, pop-up modal task detail view, and many other elements all blend together, making it difficult to track visually, which slows down my workflow. Please use more shades of black/gray to make elements more visually distinct. Thank you!

The new dark mode is too dark! It was much better before!!!!!
