One toggle, and they\u2019re working in a calmer, low-light environment better suited for long sessions. It\u2019s a small adjustment, but one that makes working late feel a whole lot more comfortable &#8211; whether it\u2019s dealing with an unexpected issue that can\u2019t wait until morning, or simply a matter of preference.<\/p>\n<blockquote style=\"border: 2px dotted #49495f; background: #f9f9fb; -webkit-border-radius: 15px; -moz-border-radius: 15px; border-radius: 15px;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: justify; padding: 25px 30px 10px;\"><strong style=\"color: #eb64ad;\">Did you know?<\/strong> Dark Mode isn\u2019t just about looking cool (although, let\u2019s be honest, it <em>absolutely<\/em> does) &#8211; studies have shown it can reduce eye strain and even squeeze a few more minutes out of your laptop battery.

No more second-guessing which instance is invoice-worthy and which one\u2019s just that side project no one has touched in months.
