Themes and High-Contrast Mode

Overview

In addition to the default light theme, you can view your Stack Overflow Internal site with a dark theme to reduce eye strain. An additional high-contrast mode works with both light and dark themes to make text more readable.

NOTE: Some sites require an administrator to enable high-contrast mode before you can use it. If you don't see the high-contrast option in your settings, contact your site admin for assistance.

Enable light, dark, and high-contrast modes

High-contrast mode

As its name implies, high-contrast mode increases the contrast of the Stack Overflow Internal interface to maximize legibility. Below are examples of high-contrast mode in both light and dark themes.
