Dark Mode beta on Dev Server (Feb 4 2022)

In-Game

Dark Mode was released March 2nd, 2022, after around a month's Beta on the Dev Server.

The Help Center has a Dark Mode, while the main site doesn't.

Character Sheets

As the Dark Mode is new, it will take time for Character Sheets creators(both Roll20, publisher & community-maintained) to adapt them to be Dark Mode compatible.

Sheets with Dark Mode:

• As of March 24th, around a dozen character sheets supports the native Dark Mode Andreas J. (talk) 15:33, 24 March 2022 (UTC)
• There exists a larger number of sheets that had built-in their own "Dark Mode" or color-schemes into the sheets, but those needs to be turned on manually.
  • These are usually available in some form of "Options" tab or menu, commonly with a y or x icon.
• Sheets that already had a dark color-scheme(Unknown number)
  • these probably works quite nicely with Dark Mode even if they don't explicitly support it, but might have minor artifacts that need to be adjusted.

See Character Sheet Development/Dark Mode for help with updating sheet to Dark Mode. Alternatively, you could create a Stylus snippet to fix a sheet for yourself. These Stylus-snippets can later be used by Sheet Authors when implementing Dark Mode for the sheet.

Other

Community-made Dark Modes

Using the Stylus-browser plugin, you can try using one of the community-made attempts at a Dark Mode. Some Are for the VTT itself & adjusted for the 5E sheet, while others have made Dark Modes for rest of the site.
