Is there a dark mode?

Yes – but the switch is not visible to everyone. It only appears when three conditions are met at the same time. If one of them is missing, the gallery stays light.

Your device setting does not help here

As long as dark mode is not unlocked for your event, the app forces the light appearance – even when your phone or computer runs in dark mode. The system setting is deliberately ignored in that case.

The three conditions

1. You are inside the event. The switch lives in the profile menu, and you only reach that after joining. You do not need an account for it: a plain guest session shows the Theme entry too, as long as the other two conditions are met.
2. The event’s plan includes the feature. Dark mode is a feature that has to be covered by the booked plan.
3. The host allowed it. In the event settings, under Style → Appearance Settings, there is the Enable Dark Mode switch.

How to switch

1. Tap the avatar at the top right to open the profile menu.

2. Pick the Theme entry. Your current value is shown right next to it.

3. Choose one of the three values in the dialog:

   • Auto – “Automatically switch based on system preference”
   • Light – “Always use light theme”
   • Dark – “Always use dark theme”

So only Auto follows your device – and even that only once dark mode is unlocked at all.

Tip

Your choice applies immediately and is stored (“Your preference will be saved automatically”). Signed in with an account, it belongs to that account and follows you to the next device. As a guest without an account it stays with this session – on another device you set it again.

Example

You are signed in with your account, the event has a suitable plan and the host switched Enable Dark Mode on: the profile menu shows Theme, you pick Dark, and the gallery turns dark immediately – on your tablet too, because the choice belongs to your account. Your friend at the same table joined without an account and still finds the entry; their choice just stays on that one phone. And in the company party’s gallery, whose plan does not include dark mode, it stays light for all of you – even with the phones running in system dark mode.

Phone

Computer

The profile menu holds the Theme entry, with your current value on its right – Auto here. ① your points and solved tasks, ② Profile options with My Profile, Language, Theme and Help, ③ Management with Account Settings, Moderation and Admin Portal – this section is missing until you hold a role for it, ④ Account with Sign out.

Phone

Computer

The Theme dialog: Auto follows your system setting, Light and Dark fix it. Your choice is saved right away.

I cannot see the “Theme” entry

Work through the three conditions one by one:

• You are still outside the event. As long as you have not entered the gallery there is no profile menu, and therefore no entry. Join first, see Joining an event.
• You are inside and still do not see it. Then the feature is not unlocked for this event – either the plan does not cover it, or the host switched it off. An account changes nothing about that. Ask the host.
• You are the host yourself? You will find the switch under Customizing the look.

Until then the gallery stays light. There is no other route into dark mode – your device settings will not do it.
