Enabling Dark Mode in Kibana

Leave a comment

Those Kibana users who prefer their software with a dark theme will be thrilled to know that Kibana actually does have a dark mode since version 7.0.0.

It can be enabled by following the steps illustrated below.

Go to Management from the left navigation.
Select Advanced Settings on the left.
Find the Dark mode setting somewhere further down in the page.
Switch on the Dark mode setting, then reload the page.
Like the sky on a stormy day, the page goes dark.
In fact, everything from Discover to Maps (and beyond) becomes dark.

Dark mode is a welcome feature for those who prefer darker tones on their screen as a matter of personal taste or to reduce eye strain.
