Fasten your seat belts, because it’s time to say goodbye to blinding lights! Finally, Google Drive has decided to join the dark side with a brand new theme that goes dark for the entire website. Actually, after so many years, the drive is finally going to start this much-awaited event. The roll-out is gradual, so click on the sign that says: “Help has arrived now! Continue to enjoy the drive in the dark!”
Enabling the dark mode interface can be extremely easy. You need to follow only two steps. First, click on the gear icon at the top right corner of the webpage. Secondly, go to Settings > General > Appearance. Although not all apps will do this automatically if your phone is on a different theme, Drive is one of those that needs to be enabled to get the benefits.
The dark-themed mode is more comfortable to view; Therefore, it is suitable for evening work which everyone hates. The interface currently focuses on file view. Some related elements like the sidebar and search bar are now light grey. In contrast, primary space is handled in a dark, flat style to enhance readability.
With this update, Google Drive has caught on to specific apps within Workspaces, such as Keep and Chat, which have dark themes available. Still, Gmail has a night mode that darkens the screen, but it fails to preserve the color scheme of this night theme. In contrast to the intense style of dark themes supported by mobile applications, Google’s web is less diverse in this aspect. Ideally, the deployment of the Drive initiative marks the beginning of a new era where all platform users get an equitable and safe nighttime experience.
Of course, with the dark theme becoming more available, it is still amazing to see how Google is expanding its scope on the web for better user convenience. Start your engines, pay attention to the signs, and be ready to drive in the lights because darkness never ends.
