There has been an internal joke for a while now called ‘TTLM’ - time to light mode. It’s the number of comments we get on a Creator Hub announcement thread before someone requests light mode - the number is never very high.
Well, request no more! We heard you loud and clear, and the team’s been working super hard on bringing light mode to all of Creator Hub. We’re excited to be rolling this out to everyone, today!
The default theme for Creator Hub will continue to be dark, but you can now go to your preferences and switch this to light, have it copy your main roblox.com preferences, or even your operating system preferences!
This is the first release, and we’re aware there may be a few pages that need further improvement in light mode - if you spot any of these, please comment down below and we’ll get them resolved.
EDIT: I forgot that light mode is actually useful in terms of accessibility. Thanks to @Kampfkarren for pointing that out; accessibility features are always a great addition.
Light theme is an accessibility feature for people like me with astigmatism who cannot easily read light text on dark backgrounds. Until now, the Creator Hub is something I actively avoided because it was legitimately straining to use. Include a light theme for the Creator Hub ; Jokes like this are insensitive, please avoid them.
Thank you to Roblox for this update, long time coming.
Dont get me wrong, I dont really care about light mode, and I wont use it, but its an important accessibility feature. Some people literally cannot use the site on dark mode.
Alright, now that my eyes have been flashbanged out of existence I can finally say, it looks pretty good!
That smooth transition in the gif goes hard.
Also, more power to light mode users, it might blind some, it might help some see better.
But bright colors can be healthy in a way. Using dark colors can “darken” your mood and make you feel a bit more down after long exposure.
But light colors and themes can quite literally brighten the mood.
I’ll just stick to dark though, I like the shadows.
