In this video, you will learn how to switch your Centrldesk theme between light and darkmode.

The darkmode is a color scheme that uses light-colored text, icons, and graphical user interface elements on a dark background.

Steps:

1. To activate darkmode, click on your avatar image in the upper right corner and select settings.
2. Here you can choose between the light and dark Centrldesk theme.
3. Choose the dark theme and click close.
4. Centrldesk will now run in darkmode.

Some users find dark mode displays more visually appealing, and the dark theme can reduce eye strain.
