Google Has Been Pushing Dark Mode, but Only for Mobile
Google has been rolling out dark UI for some of its products, but the main focus remains on the mobile devices. For example, if you want to enable dark mode on Gmail, you can only do it on your Android and iOS phones. However, the
Gmail dark mode on your desktop can be enabled only with the help of third party extension such as Night Eye. The same apples for the second most used product – Google Calendar. With the introduction of Android 10, Google Calendar got a nice dark mode, but for the desktop version – you need dark mode extension (example for
Google Calendar desktop dark mode).
Before jumping to the main product of Google, its search, lets quickly head over to Google Docs. As of writing this blog post (18.03.2020), there is no dark mode for mobile or desktop. The only solution is again a third party browser extension, but it works only on a desktop browser. Sadly the mobile experience of Google Docs will remain bright white for now.
