Dark Mode#1917

I don’t know why this feature was removed. It was very nice to not see the bright white while I check for student passes. Please put this feature back in smartpass.

I do not have the ability to change my screen brightness on my monitor, so the screen is too bright in this mode. I reported this since it just updated on my account, and received the answer that the dark mode was removed for accessibility purposes. I do not understand why this feature was removed because it is now causing an issue of accessibility for me. Having a toggle as it was before would be the best of all worlds, as it would allow accessibility for whoever needed to turn it on or off.

I agree. Without Dark Mode, the screen looks very washed out when No Fly times kick in. If this feature was removed for “accessibility purposes,” then introduce/fix “accessibility” for SmartPass.

I use dual monitors, with SmartPass displayed on one screen because, as the Digital Media teacher, I have students coming and going throughout the day for BITS, projects, and other activities. Recently, I’ve been experiencing frequent headaches, and today I turned off the monitor displaying SmartPass because the brightness was bothering me. Surprisingly, my headache disappeared almost immediately. Is there a way to monitor student passes effectively without having to keep a bright screen on all day? I would appreciate any suggestions that would allow me to supervise students while avoiding the headaches caused by the constant screen brightness.

I have found a non-SmartPass solution for this issue for myself. I’ve only used it for one day, and it’s worked well, but YMMV.

1) Install the Dark Reader extension for Chrome.
2) Under “Extensions,” click Dark Reader
3) Click the “Site List” tab
4) Input this URL: https://app.smartpass.app/

Be aware that once you install the extension, ALL sites go to Dark Mode. The method above makes only SmartPass dark mode. Everything else will revert back to the System Settings once you fresh those pages.

Maybe this will help some of you out.

Our school computers have extensions blocked :((
Thank you for typing, but I did put in the IT request so maybe they will add it!

Good luck!
