[All Platforms] Light Mode option

Hi,

 

The new white text on black design physically hurts my eyes and gives very bad ghosting (i.e. persistent image like those in optical illusions that make you stare at particular color combinations and then look away). I know I'm not the only one with this issue because I've researched it in the past. Without an option to switch back to the old design (White background/black text), I'll need to delete my Spotify account and find another service. Please add an option to switch between the two (because I know many prefer black backgrounds). Myself and a host of others, however, cannot use these color combinations. Please let me know if there is a work-around; it would be much appreciated. It's basically unusable to me in it's current state.

Hey folks,

 

This idea has been moved to a wrong place in the forum but is now back in its place.

 

We're keeping the status of Not Right Now as we still don't have any immediate plans to implement this, however, rest assured we'll check back in here with a new status if we have any news to share.

 

Thanks!

We're in 2025 and Spotify is still stuck in the past. Please implement a light mode!

I used Apple Music for a year and I have to say that I could see everything more easily. I 100% prefer it and now after I came back to Spotify, I want to beg you to make a light mode and generally update Spotify’s design because it feels amazingly cluttered and dated.

Let's hope with the increase of the monthly payment they will have enough money to finally bring light mode to Spotify...

Just come back to spotify only to find we still have no black/light theme option. I wonder why.

This idea is soon to turn 16. Not much longer and it will be able to legally drink in most of the world

SUMMARY MAIN REQUEST : Include the LIGHT MODE option in the Desktop and Mobile versions of Spotify to help people with low visual acuity and consistency with the rest of the interface used (in operating systems and other apps) adopted by users.

 

DETAILED DESCRIPTION: I've been a Spotify desktop and mobile user for a few years. I'm a Mac and iOS user. I don't want to use the web version because I already use a lot of browser tabs while working. I have difficulty seeing screen elements when the interface's mandatory DARK MODE style is on, and there's no theme option that allows me to change Spotify to LIGHT MODE. Even though my entire system is configured to use LIGHT MODE, only Spotify remains in DARK MODE due to the lack of this option. I considered using Apple Music for a while, but I already have my playlists on Spotify, so I don't want to switch from Spotify as well. However, since I have visual impairments and can't see things clearly in DARK MODE, I'd like Spotify to understand this issue for people with low vision and release a new feature that allows me to change the theme from DARK to LIGHT on the platform.

It's about Time that Spotify has a Light Mode, i think is a good idea becouse almost all best programs have.And why Spotify Premium dont have no more all the music of a Artist in is full albuns, i think it bad becouse some ppl like to listen to all music of an Artist, for me spotify is getting bad for this things, please see this ideas.
