Saves your battery. Easy on eyes. Dark theme is just nicer, what am I missing?

    I’m just annoyed about the lack of consistency in what products do and do not support a dark mode, especially when other products in the same suite do.

    I’m limited to using MS Office at work and love that Word, Outlook, OneNote and Drive all have dark themes and a quick toggle button to check accessibility/accommodate light-lovers if I’m screen sharing… But why was Excel left out ☹️? And a bunch of other apps, like Planner and Forms.

      not a huge fan of dark mode on Office, something about the white background of the a spreadsheet or word doc contrasting on the dark ribbon and menus and stuff - too harsh for me.

      It’s not even that. Applications should ask the desktop environment to present information, and not need to know about your colour choices. There’s no reason to have separate “modes” in different applications.
