The new Mercury theme, that we recently announced, and many of you are using, now has a Dark Mode. For those that don't know, Dark Mode is something that's available on many operating systems (Windows, Android, iOS, etc), where you - the user - can change from a predominantly white/light colour scheme to one that's predominantly black/dark. This is typically done via a clickable Toggle in the top-right hand corner.
Now your Making Music Platform offers that option too. There are 3 options:
1. Light Mode is the default (the default that you are used to seeing)
2. Dark Mode is new
3. Follow System, which means that your MM Platform will automatically select light or dark mode depending on your browser's light/dark mode setting (which may in turn depend on your device's setting).
The new option to switch modes is located in the top-right corner when you're logged in:
The change you make applies to only you. Each member gets to decide their own preference. The preference is stored in a browser cookie.
Our demo site (https://demo.makingmusicplatform.com/) looks like this in Light Mode:
When switched to the new Dark Mode, it looks like this:
This is now live and available on your MM Platform - but only if you are using the new Mercury theme. It is not available in our other themes (e.g. Stockholm). If you don't have Mercury yet, feel free to experiment with our Demo site: https://demo.makingmusicplatform.com. If you want to switch to the Mercury theme, instructions of how to do this can be found in our help guide.
