What is gmail? Wen nostr mail?
They would have to call it dark mail.
Because who brings light?
That's what darkreader is for, or better yet, thunderbird.
It has if you change the theme
because you're supposed to delete gmail.

It does!
The mobile apps have dark mode support though.
Gmail does have a dark mode. I've been using it in dark mode for years.
show how
On Android or in a browser on Windows it defaults to your OS setting for dark mode, but I think you can go in the settings and specify dark mode only. I use dark mode for everything. I even use a browser extension called dark reader to turn websites dark that don't have a dark mode. I hate having thousands of white pixels blasting my retinas when I'm trying to read.
gmail is the very definition of dark mode ...
Why would youuse gmail?
Because it is the dark mode.
Why doesnβt Airbnb
This is dark mode 

Whoβs using gmail?
@jack protonmail.com and startmail.com have dark mode for example and #encryption, #tor, #bitcoin, #audits, ...
Unless it depends on my os settings, I thought it had a dark mode, i think it piggy backs on your device dark mode as well, including the native app.
Really ! Switch to AERC .. it works pretty good with Gmail backend . . Or Proton mail ..
And since it is in terminal , everything is dark mode :-)


One of the best browser extensions I've ever used.
darkreader.org
as far as I can see no one has answered you must be the bell I'm ringing.
Install night eye
wow! lol
lolz... right? c'mon Jack
Browser extension can help with darkmode on any hmtl/css site, but yeah that they don't pack a standard dark mode is strange. Probably some dusty old branding decision, that no one dares to question now.
A better question is why are you using gmail? GTFO of there and go Proton or similar encrypted service.
I use Tutanota
because their surveillance agenda is dark enough
it does
someone at Google probably thinks itβs racist
Theyβre slowly bleeding everyoneβs eyes to prep them for digestion by Orb
Because itβs already too dark
B/c it is already dark.
The iOS app does
Why would anyone use Gmail?
Because it is hard to have good email score while hosting your own email server, not to mention keeping your server up to date and patched all the times is a lot of work that very few people want to put up with...so basically for convenience.
Probably because they couldnβt create light and dark mode versions of every Theme.
