Dark Mode for Linux

Similar to this topic, I would like to have dark mode on Linux.

 

As a Linux user, I feel that the topic didn’t fully address the kind of assistance both the original poster, users, and I were hoping for. The current setup still leans heavily on light mode, which can be pretty harsh on the eyes, especially during long sessions or late-night workflows. While there are three options to tweak the top bar and meeting background, they don’t touch the Zoom background itself, which stays glaringly white. That sudden brightness spike is jarring, basically being flashbanged at 3 in the morning.

 

So, a proper dark mode that darkens everything, not just fragments, would be a huge improvement. Including this in the theme selection or rolling it out in an upcoming Linux update would go a long way in reducing eye strain and making the experience more cohesive. Hoping this gets prioritized.

mkdir ~/zoom-im
cd ~/zoom-im
unzip /opt/zoom/imjs/imjs.zip

Then look at 

“/zoom-im/assets/zoom-ui-vue3-BiHGjLS_.css”
It appears dark mode exists it just isn’t being applied?
Maybe some one more educated on the topic than me could check it out.

What is happening here? I’m sure we’ve all submitted feedback, how is this difficult or time-consuming to implement given that each other platform has already enabled it!
