    While I understand that User Voice can be a useful channel for gauging the priority of features, how will Adobe know that this is a highly desired feature if they all go blind before it can be implemented?

    It's also ironic, although pretty logical, that Adobe Xd's main competitor seems to prioritize the requested features on the Xd uservoice more than Adobe does.

    That's it, I am done with XD. I have worked for few years with it, and I could see that you guys are adding noticable features throughout the months, but you guys need to understand something : as designers, who pay attention to pixel perfect details and having your eyes constatnly reaching for the smallest things in your screen while working, it is uterly frustrating and quite painful for the eyes to have absolutely ZERO option for a Dark mode, not even a plugin from a third party. It's such a HUGE feature missing and it's been years that people are actively asking for it, since 2016 that people are requiring it and nothing has been done, nothing has been teased, just nothing from you guys on that matter. We keep reading comments from Adobe employees saying that you understand our frustration and that this request is basically sleeping in your backlog for too long now. Everyt time I open Adobe XD I get that uncomftable feeling for the eyes and every time I tell myself, ugh when will they finally realease a freaking dark mode for this app, evey single time I tell this to myself. I am currently finishing a last project on XD and after that I will switch to Figma for sure, it's gonna be a bit of bumpy road to adjust but should be fine, not that different anyways, except for the dark mode !

    I understand dark mode as white text on black background. On windows, I would recommend FoxitMobile reader for this feature. It doesn't seem to be implemented in the desktop version. The i-phone version has it.

    This is why I finally ditched XD for Sketch. Not only is there no Dark Mode, but the default light mode is awful.
