Going back Light mode (don't want Black the whole day)

I cannot change my setting back to the light mode. I have tried toggling the High Contrast slider in Settings.

Are you on a computer with this problem, or a mobile device? And are you in a browser (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, etc.) or a Canvas app? Some clarification on where you are and what you are using may help in finding a useful solution for you.

My best guess would be that maybe your device or browser has dark mode as the default theme, so you may need to check those settings first and make adjustments there to have it fixed in Canvas.

Hi CelestiaDawnA,

Thanks for responding! I am in Chrome on a laptop. My settings were default light (white background) and now they are black (pic included). Not using an app. Using Canvas from within the School website per usual. The browser itself is not in dark mode (pic included). Not sure how to change these settings besides toggling the High Contrast slider in the Settings Menu under Account.

Thanks,

I just turned on Invert Color and now my Canvas Pages are light (er) and everything else is black. I know this feature is probably for those with different vision characteristics, but still, it makes it a bit easier. Screenshot 2024-07-24 at 14.14.18.png

Could "Timeline Visualization" be the Key to Improving the Student Calendar?
We are all familiar with the standard Course Calendar, where assignment due dates are automatically added.

Better Submit Button UI to prevent accidental Submits Message
The current placement of the "Submit" button creates a "slip" in user behavior where habit-clicking "Next" leads to an accidental final submission. I think Canvas could easily fix this by: Moving the Submit button away from the navigation buttons (maybe above the question instead of below it) and/or Adding a "Confirm…
