💡 MeisterHacks: How To Enable Dark Mode (thanks @Eva Schindler)

Admin BSF.company · February 2023

Hi!

There's been some requests recently to get #DarkMode available as a native feature in the Meister Suite.

I want to share a great tip I got from @Eva Schindler to get this functionality when I told her how my eyes hurt after long periods working on MeisterNote's user interface.

The solution pointed by Eva was a web browser extension named Dark Reader, which is available for:

Chrome-based browsers like Chrome, Chromium, Brava, Opera, etc
Safari
Firefox
Edge

Below I leave you a couple of videos:

After enabling this #MeisterHack for myself, I got this upgraded experience:

MeisterTask:

MeisterNote:

MindMeister:

Community:

Eyes don't hurt anymore… Cool, huh?

I hope this helps to those of you with sensitive eyes 😎

Best regards and thanks @Miša for suggesting the creation of this thread 😉

Hey @Andres D'Andrea,

Thanks so much for sharing this - I think it's a really clever tip and hopefully more people will see it here 😀. I also just gave you the MeisterHacks badge 😉.

Best,

Hey Andres, just tested the extension and I have to say, it's awesome. So also from my side, a big thanks to @Eva Schindler 🙏🙂

Even in the bright-mode it is very nice to be able, to adjust the intensity. For people that often have to sit for hours in front of a monitor, this extension is a blessing.

Why didn't I know about this extension yet?? 😅

Best, Jörg

I glad you liked it @Rooster McNugget and @Jörg Koper, the best thing for me is that it not only works in Meister.

Everything you open while you have it enabled gets styled for dark mode automatically, I think that's pretty cool! RAM consuming, but cool 😀

Thanks for the appreciation @Miša. #MeisterHacks is one of my favorite tags on this platform! You have shared several good ones as well ✅

Cheers

Hi guys

I made the experience that Dark Reader didn't fit very well with my screen. So I tried dark mode - night eye for Google Chrome. I think, and this is my personal opinion, the contrast is a little better.

Or it's just my "old" screen.

Greets and have a good one!🖖
