> The Night mode for HubSpot template gives HubSpot a dark theme in your own browser, keeping its accent colours and leaving images alone.

Asked for since 10 December 2019: HubSpot's Community Ideas forum (#17633), https://community.hubspot.com/t/night-mode/17633 (663 votes).

**HubSpot has no dark mode. The idea has been In Development since 2026-08-25, but HubSpot says it waits on a design-system migration and gives no date. The Night mode for HubSpot template gives HubSpot a dark theme in your own browser, with no admin setting.**

## Steps

1. In Skins Studio, open **Explore**, pick **Night mode for HubSpot** and click **Create App**.
2. On HubSpot, open the **Skins** side panel from the browser toolbar. The skin is listed under **On this page**.
3. Switch it on. HubSpot reloads in the dark theme.

## What you get

- Dark surfaces, with board columns a step darker than the cards on them.
- Light text and dim lines.
- HubSpot's accent colours (teal buttons, links, tags) keep their hue, brightened to read on dark.
- Not an inverted page: photos, logos and avatars are left as they are.
- The browser is told the page is dark, so scrollbars and form controls match.

## Limits

- It maps HubSpot's own colours, so images, logos and email previews or bodies with their own colours stay light.
- Only in your browser.
- It isn't HubSpot's own dark mode. If HubSpot ships one, use that.
- If HubSpot adds new colours, the template may need an update before it darkens those too.

## Other options

- **HubSpot's own dark mode**: the idea is In Development. No date yet.
- **Dark Reader**: filters every site you visit. Can distort colours and slow heavy pages.
- **Dark Mode for HubSpot extension**: paid. Was hard-coded to app.hubspot.com, so it didn't work on EU accounts (app-eu1).
- **Ask HubSpot**: vote on the idea.
