While I really love the colors and instructive nature of this product, I really dislike the dark oriented color sections. That is to say, I dislike how in a dark mode, it still has large sections of white backgrounds.

If I'm in a dark room, using dark mode and expecting lower light levels, a sudden white backdrop is blinding.

Perhaps these dark themes are intended purely for design, not how best to design a dark mode.. but I'd really appreciate more design around the dark mode.

Honestly, large color changes bother me quite a bit in our software these days. I remember I always hated Slack's light mode because it was a right pane full of white - very bright, and the left pane was a dark mode contact/channel list, very dark. Why? It has always been very distracting to me, and I don't get why people think dark and light modes are so easily mixed.

Perhaps I'm an odd egg. I dunno. I definitely know nothing about style. All I know is I view the brightness of applications to be the foundation and competing brightness bothers me greatly.
