Does anyone know if Dark Mode is planned for Power Automate Desktop? I have difficulty sometimes using apps that have a blindingly-white background, and It would be super nice if there were a Dark Mode/Theme.

Dark Mode for PAD?

People replying to this talking about how to use dark mode in a browser: Please, for goodness' sake, read all the other replies first. Power Automate Desktop is not in a browser. It is a desktop application.

Dark Mode for PAD?

you can use this as an alternative: F12, console, allow pasting, and paste this:

var cover = document.createElement("div");
let css = `
position: fixed;
pointer-events: none;
top: 0;
left: 0;
width: 100vw;
height: 100vh;
background-color: white;
mix-blend-mode: difference;
z-index: 1;
`
cover.setAttribute("style", css);
document.body.appendChild(cover);

Can I also ask is there any progress? The current color scheme is really terrible to work with. Teams, Outlook and many other apps support theme mode but PAD does not, I just don't get why.

Working with PAD is no different than welding metal without darkening glasses.

Browser is not an issue. As developers, we are spending 99% of our time in Power Automate Desktop UI and starring at that white screen.

If you open PA in a browser, you can download it as a app. If you then have Dark Reader(extention) installed you can turn it on in the "app".

There is an existing feature request for Dark Mode on ideas.powerautomate.com, and it has already gathered enough attention that Microsoft has added it to the Power Automate Desktop dev team's backlog. If you want them to prioritize this feature request so it gets done sooner, you should click that link, login, and add your upvote! 😎👍

Check out the Dark Reader browser extension [Edge | Firefox | Chrome | Safari]. It forces all websites to display in dark mode by default, and you can create custom rules to enable/disable/customize the way dark mode is displayed on a per-website basis.
Note: Dark Reader is a browser extension, so it can't make desktop applications like Power Automate Desktop display in dark mode, but it works like a charm on the Power Automate website.
