# Use Dark Mode in More Editions (Beta)

You can now enable dark mode for Salesforce Lightning Design System 2 (SLDS 2) themes in Free Suite, Pro Suite, Professional, Enterprise, and Developer edition orgs. Previously, dark mode was available only for Salesforce Starter Suite orgs. Dark mode shows light-colored text and visual elements on a dark background, which lays the foundation for richer theming opportunities and more customization of Lightning base components. With dark mode enabled, your users can select an appearance that reduces eye strain in low-light conditions and enhances readability.

**Where:** This change applies to Salesforce Lightning Design System 2 and Lightning Experience in Free Suite, Pro Suite, Professional, Enterprise, and Developer editions.

Note Dark mode is a pilot or beta service that is subject to the Beta Services Terms at [Agreements - Salesforce.com](https://www.salesforce.com/company/legal/agreements/) or a written Unified Pilot Agreement if executed by Customer, and applicable terms in the [Product Terms Directory](https://ptd.salesforce.com/). Use of this pilot or beta service is at the Customer's sole discretion.

**How:** To enable dark mode, from Setup, in the Quick Find box, enter Themes and Branding and select it. Click **New Theme**, or click ![Dropdown icon](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-salesforce_release_notes-260-0-0-production-enus/ba62a63b-6cd1-440e-8d24-e867afab0363/salesforce_release_notes/images/down_120.png) next to an existing SLDS 2 theme and then select **Edit**. In the Dark Mode section, select **Let users enable dark mode**.

![Enable dark mode from the edit theme page](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-salesforce_release_notes-260-0-0-production-enus/ba62a63b-6cd1-440e-8d24-e867afab0363/salesforce_release_notes/images/rn_260_slds_dark_mode.png)

Save your changes and then activate the theme.

After you enable dark mode, a user can click their profile image and select how they want Salesforce to appear.

Not all Salesforce apps and features are fully optimized for dark mode yet, including:

- Analytics, reports, and dashboards
- Rich text editors and their outputs
- Builders
- Setup
