feature request: admin dark theme as an option in settings.py

[Michael Fischer]

Hi! We recently updated to Django==3.2.12 and were very please to find that dark theme is now supported in the admin.  But, it seems this is only if the user's desktop settings are set to dark theme.  It would be really great if this could be application-specific, so that the admin page always displays in the given theme regardless of local settings.  Is it possible to have this added as an option in settings.py?

Thanks for the great work you all do!

Hi Michael. 

The easiest thing to do here is override the CSS file at: django/contrib/admin/static/admin/css/dark_mode.css

So, most often, put a `admin/css/dark_mode.css` in a project level folder defined by `STATICFILES_DIRS`.

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/4.0/howto/static-files/#configuring-static-files

Kind Regards,

Carlton
