If the words "light mode" are enough to make you wince in pain and rub your eyeballs, you'll be pleased to know that Microsoft is rolling out a dark mode for all its products. While Microsoft Teams already has a dark mode, Microsoft is making it even better in a future update.

Microsoft Teams' New Enhanced Dark Mode

The news on Microsoft Teams' new dark mode arrived on Windows Latest. While the existing dark mode does tone down all the bright whites, there are still elements on Teams that hurt to look at while you're working away at 3 am. For instance, some UI elements use a solid purple that isn't as forgiving on the eyes as the rest of the app.

The update will allow these colors to adapt to your chosen theme, which means dark mode users will get a more eye-friendly version of Team's harsher colors. The update will also feature rounded corners on icons and drop shadows and implement Microsoft's Fluent Design into Teams.

While we don't have a solid release date for the update right now, it's expected to drop in mid-February 2021. This is around the same time that the new Microsoft Teams PowerPoint Presenter view will arrive, so expect a big batch of updates for Teams around late January to mid-February 2021.

Come to the Dark Side, We Have Better Eyesight

If you dislike harsh, bright colors when using websites and apps, Microsoft Teams may have the update for you. Keep an eye out around mid-February when Microsoft Teams' dark mode gets a much-needed improvement.

You may already know that Windows 10 has its own built-in dark mode; however, did you know that you can customize it to turn on when it turns nighttime?
