Switch between light and dark mode in the dashboard

Question & Answer

Hi all,
Is there a way to switch between light and dark mode from the dashboard if the dashboard is embedded in the application? This would be for users who don’t have the permission to change the analysis.

Many thanks

Hi @andjela,
you could create two dashboards (light and dark) and with a action you can jump on the right one.
By now I didnt saw a light/dark switch.

Hi @abacon,
Unfortunately, that is not what I need. Is there a feature request for this?

Hi @andjela Sharing this on behalf of @David_Wong. He indicates that the “run-time theming” enhancement that was recently announced should be able to address this issue.

@David_Wong I have unarchived this. Feel free to add any other details as needed. I am marking this as a solution, but @andjela let us know if you need anything or have any further questions.

Hi @andjela,

Please take a look at this announcement.

If you can capture your user’s preference for light or dark mode in your application, you should be able to apply a theme on-the-fly when you embed your dashboard.
