Dark mode is now too dark

In spite of being an emo, the dark mode is actually

too dark

right now. The old one was better, in my humble and emotive opinion. Thx

Hey everyone, thanks for taking the time to provide your feedback on the recent dark mode changes. We truly appreciate your input and will certainly consider adding a third option in the future!
For some context, the color adjustments were made to enhance color contrast accessibility across the app, following standard guidelines like those from Radix UI Colors. Our goal is to make the app more accessible and consistent for everyone, across various areas inside ClickUp.
In the interim, before we add a third option, is there anything specific with this update that needs to be addressed immediately. As examples, task borders, buttons blending in too much with text, etc. 
Thank you for your patience as we try to improve the experience for everyone.

Zach is it possible to get a status update on this? I’m sure the team is busy with a lot of features, but out of everything, this is the one that affects everything you do in ClickUp and seems to be pretty disliked by everyone. A dark grey theme would be so much easier to work with and personally, I’d give up existing features just to not have my eyes hurt after working in ClickUp for more than 30 minutes.

+1 for an option to choose between the current and previous dark mode. Photoshop has a similar option.

Ouch, that's a brutal new dark mode. I've switched to day mode at the risk of getting my eyeballs burned out. That dark mode is unworkable.

I agree soooo much with this. I use dark mode to reduce eye strain and migraines, but can't use what it has become. It's too dark and the font is too white. Really should be more grey scale vs extreme contrast. Attached example of functional dark mode from Slack

Totally agree !
The new dark mode is not good at all. The previous one looks professional and comfortable. When I was using the old Dark Mode on ClickUp I feel proud of ClickUp 
as being so perfect and accurate to such details in even choosing the correct dark colors not only black ones!!
Please get back to it or make it an option.

It's been over 2 months now. Thanks to the help of Rafael Healy Chacón below, I was able to get ClickUp's dark mode looking to quite close to what it used to using the method and modified CSS posted below.

Ian Munar Oh I need this help!

Can we get an option to toggle high normal vs high contrast? That seems to be the way some companies are goapproacThath taken by some companies are going.

Please restore the previous Dark Mode as an option.

While the context and intent was "to enhance color contrast accessibility", our teams have found that these changes have reduced readability. What are Radix's qualifications regarding contrast accessibility? Do these adjustments meet Web Content Accessibility Guideline AA or AAA standards?

Begging you to change this - both modes hurt my eyes, this is so hard to work with.
