I’m all for a dark mode toggle, since not all can use preferences to change it, but what do you see is the implementation path for this? I’m sure this would be low hanging fruit, but would be good to know a way it could get implemented quickly.

Voting no because the implementation path is missing.
Yannakis showed that the forum could already be switched to dark mode, for the governance website it would require the DAO Governance Squad to implement it, I don’t know if they have the bandwidth for it currently.

Who are you kidding? They want to discourage people from having a voice and if the website is annoying, difficult to use, and hard to look at, of course they will get their way. Snapshot’s website is dark, I wonder why?
“We know most websites have this feature, however even though we want to increase voter participation, we feel that this is unnecessary.”

Also @ginoct from the Governance Squad is waiting for this implementation:

@ginoct do you have any information on the impact of participation on websites with dark mode v. light mode? My assumption is if people prefer dark mode, they would remain on the website longer than their non-preferred light mode. If we want voter participation to be of better quality, should this be considered?
