Introducing Dark Mode for MongoDB Documentation

We’re excited to announce a highly requested feature: Dark mode is now available for MongoDB Documentation!

Every day, developers from all backgrounds—beginners to experts—turn to the MongoDB Documentation. It’s packed with comprehensive resources that help you build modern applications using MongoDB and the Atlas developer data platform.

With detailed information and step-by-step guides, it’s an invaluable tool for improving your skills and making your development work smoother. From troubleshooting tricky queries to exploring new features, MongoDB Documentation is there to support your projects and help you succeed.

With dark mode, you can now switch to a darker interface that’s easier on the eyes. Whether you’re working late or prefer a subdued color palette, dark mode enhances your MongoDB Documentation experience.

How to enable dark mode

Enabling dark mode is simple. Just click on the sun and moon icon at the top right of the page to switch between dark mode, light mode, and system settings. It will initially default to your system settings. This is a personal setting and won't affect other users within the project or organization.

We’ve designed dark mode to provide the same user-friendly experience you’re used to and stay consistent across different tools in the developer workflow, including MongoDB Atlas, which is also available in dark mode.

We're all about making your reading experience top-notch! Dark mode is here because you asked for it through our feedback widget on the Docs page. Whether you’re an early adopter of dark mode or just trying it out, we’d love your opinion. Just drop your feedback in the widget next to the color theme selector on the MongoDB Documentation page.

Less strain, more gain

Dark mode offers a sleek, modern look that brings a refreshing change from the traditional light mode. Beyond its stylish appearance, dark mode also provides significant practical benefits.

Reducing the amount of bright light emitted from your screen helps minimize eye strain and fatigue, making extended periods of device use more comfortable.

For those using OLED screens, dark mode can help conserve battery life, as these screens consume less power by displaying darker pixels.

Whether you’re coding into the late hours or just looking for a more comfortable viewing experience, dark mode is a simple yet powerful tool to enhance your development experience.
