NetBox version

v4.1.0-dev

Feature type

New functionality

Proposed functionality

When a user changes theme between light and dark mode the side navigation should also change colour. The current app has a 'light' side navigation regardless of whether light or dark mode has been selected.

Use case

By adding this feature users would have full control over their theme experience. The current dark mode experience forces users to constantly look between a light mode menu and dark mode content area which means their eyes need to adjust between the two contrast types, this is not optimal.

I experience 'dark' side navigation regardless of mode selected (Firefox 125.0). Changing prefered mode in Firefox's settings (I prefer 'dark' but also tried both 'auto' and 'light' options) makes no difference.

@jeremystretch commented on GitHub (Jun 4, 2024):

@andrewgormley this has already been proposed and declined in #15615. The use of a contrasting color for the sidebar was an intentional choice, and serves to differentiate navigation controls from the page content. It's a rather common approach for dashboard-type applications; here's an example straight from Tabler as a reference.
