Use Dark Mode in More Editions and Features (Beta)

Enable dark mode for Salesforce Lightning Design System 2 (SLDS 2) themes in Performance and Unlimited edition orgs. And in all editions where dark mode is available, you can now upload a dark-mode version of your company’s logo for SLDS 2 themes. 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: These changes apply to Salesforce Lightning Design System 2 and Lightning Experience in Performance and Unlimited editions.
