First things first: kudos for a rock-solid tool. My W/kg graphs look fantastic… right up until 1 a.m. when the screen glare fries my retinas harder than a July alpine stage. Could we please get a native Dark Mode on macOS (or at least a CSS toggle)? Reasons in no particular order: 1. **Eyeball preservation.** White backgrounds at night feel like staring into a head-unit set to “solar flare.” 2. **Battery life.** MacBooks love darker pixels almost as much as cyclists love marginal gains. 3. **2025 called.** It wants the 90s-bright UI back in the museum where it belongs. 😜 Happy to test a beta, flip a hidden flag, or bribe someone with post-ride pastries. Thanks for considering—my cones and rods will be eternally grateful. Cheers, David ---

Good thought. I’m a Windows user, though the dark-reader plug-in doesn’t do a very good job without playing with settings. ---

For the record, forum has native dark mode But darkreader does do a pretty good job on icu, agreed.
