Dark Mode Please!

Dear Onshape Developers, please make a dark mode option for Onshape. The current mode strains my eyes, and I'm sure many people will agree that a dark mode would be great. I know you can currently do it with browser extensions, but it can be buggy and doesn't always work. Please add a dark mode!

    In 2024, this is not yet implemented? The ability to theme apps and websites is more than a decade old!

    Eye strain is a real and serious thing. I can only work about 4 hrs. before my eyes begin to burn. And i pity people who have to work 8 hrs. a day without being able to change the background to a more soothing color. Just simply give us the ability to change background to the colors of the standard color pallet (in preferences) - that way each individual can control whatever shade meets their needs. I had this problem in solid-works, then I changed the background to a very pale green (think drafting board green), it made all the difference in the world - all day long and no burning eyes.

    Hi devs, I just wanted to bump this. We absolutely need not just a single dark mode, but themes. As another user said, the ability to skin applications is more than a decade old. It's actually at least 40 years old, since even the Commodore 64 had user selectable background and border color themes, and that's from the 80s. My company uses OnShape professionally, and the white screen is brutal on the eyes after a long day.
