A faster, smarter, and more intuitive way to work is here. We’ve redesigned BigPicture navigation to give you a smoother experience and better access to what matters most.

About the dark mode

Dark mode primarily uses dim, dark, and gray color schemes for its elements that reflect less light, which minimizes screen glare. In dim environments, turning on dark mode can help you alleviate eye strain caused by bright displays.
