Dark Mode

[Mahesh-MSFT]

I understand that Dark Mode is still an "experimental" feature. I am curious to know the difference in results. Example provided in the documentation section Update version 2.5 20/04/2020 result shows the text below each shape with white (or foreground colour) adjusted for dark mode. However, when I am trying the same shapes, Text below renders in Black foreground colour and hence not readable in Dark mode.

What trick am I missing?

Hi Mahesh

for the icons you just need to change the font colour to white, I was toying with the idea of providing a full dark mode stencil set but this is a bit of effort. In the example below when looking at the VNET Peering Icon, unless I change the dark drop shadow to a white shadow or outline then you are going to lose detail for icons that are mostly black or have black elements at the edge of the icon. I polled a bunch of tech contacts regarding dark mode designs but everyone hated the idea :( so I put it on the back burner

thanks @David-Summers . Interesting to hear idea of dark mode icons isn't getting any traction.

i find myself in situation where visio diagram exported as either png or emf file are to be used in both modes.

so just like icons - which seamlessly adjust themselves in both modes - text for each icon should also have same behaviour :-)
