Describe the feature you'd like
Add .env setting for default to be dark mode.
Describe the benefits this feature would bring to BookStack users
Customization of bookstack appearance without using themes. Also since mode toggle is on home page anyone going to direct link can be forced to dark mode.
Additional context
Hope I haven't missed it, but I couldn't find it here https://github.com/BookStackApp/BookStack/blob/master/.env.example.complete

Hi @mahdi1234,
Could you describe what is meant by this?
The dark-mode in BookStack is a user-level preference. It should not affect other users in the system.
@mahdi1234 commented on GitHub (May 1, 2020):
Hi @ssddanbrown maybe I described that bit confusing, basically I would like to have a setting for default theme light/dark, so when I give someone direct link to page_xyz it's dark on first visit. Sure he can change later on to white, but it's about first visit, does it make sense? I'm the only user on system and have read-only system for guests.
@ssddanbrown commented on GitHub (May 1, 2020):
@mahdi1234 Ah, Okay, that makes sense. Thanks for confirming, I'll update the title.

Hey! Any updates on this?
@ssddanbrown commented on GitHub (Jul 8, 2020):
Nope, nothing yet
@FrostyWolf commented on GitHub (Oct 30, 2020):
Is there still no way to change the default theme to dark?
@modem7 commented on GitHub (Jan 3, 2021):
+1 on this. My retinas would certainly appreciate it whenever I hit the home page after reloading the container, and it defaults to light theme until I login.
Alternatively, if an ENV var isn't suitable, maybe a global setting for "default mode" in the settings tab where admins can choose what they'd like the default to be, and users can choose their preferred in their user settings?

Code added in
b0f4500c34.As of the next feature release (v0.32), You'll be able to set
APP_DEFAULT_DARK_MODE=trueto enable dark mode by default. This will be overidden for any users/sessions that have previously pressed one of the dark/light mode toggle buttons.
