Can you switch quickbooks online basic plan into dark mode? I don't see it under the gear icon in the upper-left corner referenced in the support page.

It's great to have you here today, @drylightn.

Although it's great to have the option to choose your theme when using QuickBooks Online (QBO), as I check here on our system, the option you're trying to use is unavailable or has rolled out already.

If you want this feature to be accessible inside the program, I can help you send feedback to our Product Development Team. This way, they'll see your feature suggestion and consider adding it back in future program updates. I'll write down the steps to get you going:

1. Access your QuickBooks Online company.
2. On the top right-corner, click the Gear icon.
3.  Select Feedback and then enter your comments or product suggestions.
4. Once ready, click Next to submit feedback.

So to be clear I follow what you are saying, there used to be an option to switch to dark mode using quickbooks online, but then they took it out and it's no longer available? Was any reason given for this? I can't imagine that this wasn't a popular feature.

Okay thanks @MJoy_D and @Kurt_M . Can you point me to the product team so I can make a request to put dark mode back into the online app? It's very difficult to use QBO when the interface is so blinding white.

You're welcome, @drylightn. It's our pleasure to help.

I can totally see how the option to put QuickBooks Online in dark mode is beneficial to our users like you. That would be a great addition to the current features that we have, so I’ll take note of it.

I also encourage you to leave the feedback from within your QuickBooks account. Here are the steps:

1. Go to the Gear icon and select Feedback.
2. Provide your product suggestion.
3. Click on Next to submit feedback.

I'm always here if you have further questions about your dark mode feature. Have a wonderful day!

It was a popular feature, though it never fully delivered a true dark mode experience. Another arbitrary decision that in no way helps justify the ever increasing monthly rates for service.

Agreed. Would be nice to have a native solution to save our eyeballs vs relying on hacky browser plugins, especially since we are being forced to go the subscription route.

It's remarkable that QBO adds features that nobody really wants but it more than happy to remove already developed solutions that most users want.
