Priority: High — User Experience & Accessibility
The Problem
Please introduce Dark Mode for Managed Agents in GoHighLevel.
The current light-only interface is excessively bright, particularly for users who spend hours building, configuring, testing, and managing AI agents.
The white interface is practically burning our eyes!
AI agent development involves extended periods of reading conversations, reviewing instructions, configuring settings, and testing responses. Forcing users to work in a bright white environment throughout these sessions creates unnecessary visual discomfort, especially at night or in low-light environments.
This is a basic user-experience feature that should not be missing from a modern AI platform.
Why This Matters
  1. Dark Mode Is Already an Industry Standard
ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Grok all offer dark mode.
These are some of the world’s leading AI platforms, and they recognize the importance of allowing users to customize their working environment.
GoHighLevel is building an increasingly powerful AI ecosystem. Its Managed Agents interface should offer the same fundamental usability options.
  1. Research Shows Significant Demand for Dark Mode
Dark mode is not a niche preference.
* A 2026 study published in the Journal of Management Science reported that 68.4% of its 215 survey participants preferred dark mode.
* A 2024 academic study found that 75.9% of its 112 survey respondents used dark mode on mobile/tablet devices, while 58% used it on computers.
* In that 2024 study, 87% of respondents who explained switching to dark mode cited visual comfort.
These findings demonstrate substantial demand, although the percentages should not be interpreted as representing every internet user worldwide.
  1. Better Comfort for Extended AI Workflows
Managed Agents users frequently spend hours:
* Building and configuring agents.
* Writing and editing detailed instructions.
* Testing AI conversations.
* Reviewing agent responses and debugging issues.
* Navigating settings, tools, and knowledge sources.
A dark interface would give users a more comfortable option, particularly in low-light environments.
  1. Accessibility and User Choice
Not everyone prefers the same display settings. Some users find light mode easier to read, while others strongly prefer dark mode.
The solution is simple: give users the choice instead of forcing everyone into light mode.
Proposed Solution
Introduce a native theme system throughout the Managed Agents interface.
Required functionality:
* Light Mode: Preserve the existing appearance.
* Dark Mode: Introduce a professionally designed dark interface across all Managed Agents screens.
* System Default: Automatically follow the user’s operating-system theme.
* Persistent Preference: Remember the user’s selected theme between sessions.
* Complete Coverage: Apply dark mode consistently to agent builders, conversation previews, settings, text editors, configuration panels, modals, dropdowns, and testing interfaces.
* Accessible Contrast: Ensure text, buttons, borders, and interactive elements remain readable in both modes.
Ideally, users should be able to switch themes instantly without refreshing the page.
Expected Benefits
* Improved comfort during extended AI development sessions.
* Better usability in low-light environments.
* Greater accessibility and personalization.
* A more modern and polished interface.
* Consistency with leading AI platforms.
* Less friction for developers and agencies managing multiple AI agents.
Final Thoughts
GoHighLevel is competing in an AI industry where user experience matters just as much as functionality.
ChatGPT has dark mode. Claude has dark mode. Gemini has dark mode. Grok has dark mode. Why are we still forced to use a bright white interface in Managed Agents?
We’re not asking for an advanced AI capability or a complicated new automation feature.
We’re asking for a basic interface option that has become standard across modern software.
Please give Managed Agents a proper dark mode. Our eyes will thank you!
