Why are you making such a big deal about a request many people seem to want? Lee Gordon's point is valid. If you don't care about Dark why bother to even join the conversation. If dark mode is added to Logos it does not take anything away and you can continue using it with the default color mode. Unless people were requesting that only dark mode be available then I would see your point, but that is not the request being made. Your argument is a waste of time.
The fact that you have made close to 30 thousand posts is very concerning and I had an experience with you in a previous post a few years ago. You always seem to be confrontational even when people ask honest questions. I had asked if it was possible to export Logos books to other readers and you quickly replied in a condescending way. Pointing me to copyright laws as if I was asking if I could do something illegal. Almost seems like you believe you own part of Faithlife.
Diego Lara:Lee Gordon's point is valid.
So was MJ's.
Lee Gordon wrote, "It's easy on the eyes in low-light levels."
In truth, it is easy on some people's eyes in low-light levels. It is not easy on other people's eyes in low-light levels. (One of those people is MJ.)
MJ pays careful attention to the words that she and others use, so she both notices and dislikes absolute general statements that are false more than many other people do. It probably doesn't help that Lee Gordon's well-meant and unintentionally false statement was partly about her, insofar as she is a person with eyes--eyes that do not benefit from Dark Mode.
I, for one, like Dark Mode in principle, and I do use it for some programs. I find it takes some getting used to. That said, if Logos/Verbum 8 had Dark Mode, I'd definitely be running Verbum 8 with Dark Mode right now.
"The saints are the true interpreters of Holy Scripture. The meaning of a given passage of the Bible becomes most intelligible in those human beings who have been totally transfixed by it and have lived it out." - Pope Benedict XVI
MJ. Smith:I'm just asking that the people who love dark mode acknowledge that their view is not the only view just as those of us who dislike it acknowledge that there are those who love it.
Concur Dark Mode is an individual preference choice (available on Smart Phones, Windows, macOS, ...). Dark Mode needs High Contrast for readability: similar colors (lacking contrast) are hard to read in Light OR Dark Mode.
FYI: for awhile, GMAIL app on iOS 13 only showed Light Mode (even thought iOS was configured Dark). With eyes adjusted at night (in a rural area without street lights so can see many stars at night), the GMAIL app was a bit too bright for use (hurt to look at). Conversely, Dark Mode Map app in bright sunlight was unusable (could not easily see discern colored map details).

People who know me know that I am anything but confrontational or condescending. I may be a bit inept socially which is why I try to stick to precise, accurate, and complete answers ... geared not only to the individual who actually asked the question but for others reading it who need the same information. If you want socially adept, read Rosie - she is also knowledgeable.

+1 while looking in the mirror at socially inept self (with Prayer desire to see everyone as God sees plus respond as God would in Holy Love).

Now that that UserVoice has been retired by Faithlife, you can vote for Dark Mode for the desktop apps here: https://feedback.faithlife.com/boards/logos-desktop-app/posts/4
For the web app:https://feedback.faithlife.com/boards/logos-web-app/posts/592
For Biblia (which is used for things like in-app resource previews): https://feedback.faithlife.com/boards/biblia/posts/593
Please note that you can only vote once for each suggestion, but you can vote for as many suggestions as you want.

We're still tracking both sites. You don't need to worry that we'll only look at https://feedback.faithlife.com/boards/logos-desktop-app/posts/4 and say "eh, it only has 33 votes, must not actually be important after all".
But do create new suggestions at the new feedback site (or recreate existing ones that you think need a bit more exposure).
Please vote for Dark Mode in the Logos Desktop App using the New Faithlife Feedback Boards:
33 Votes => Add dark/night mode to desktop (In progress)
9 Votes => Prioritize resources by type
9 Votes => Add multiple search scopes for Bible search (Needs your opinion)
8 Votes => Add faceted browsing sidebar to Search (Needs you opinion)
Thankful every user now has an unlimited number of votes (albeit limited to one vote per Feedback idea). Considering Logos & Verbum community size, number of votes could be substantially increased.
After Monday we may not need to vote on it. But in meantime vote away.

Just want to note that the Faithlife Feedback suggestions for Dark Mode for Biblia and for the Web App are NEW, and as such might be more likely to still need votes....

Can't login to the desktop app. It just keeps popping up a dialogue that offers to let me use Facebook, Twitter, etc. Clicked the Login link, and the page just blinks and asks me to set up an account. Already have an account, and was logged in. Tried on Chrome and Firefox.
