If 1,000 people use the "Send Feedback" tool with the tag "Dark Mode", it triggers a flag in Google's internal system that says, "High user demand for this feature." That's at least what Gemini told me ;-)

Additionally write to Google: "Please implement a true dark mode for the editing canvas in Docs/Sheets/Slides. The current white canvas causes significant eye strain and is inconsistent with the mobile app and Google Drive dark theme. This is a critical accessibility feature."

A few indies have also emphasized the importance of retaining their creative autonomy.
