Theme color modes

In today's GroupOffice 6.7 release we've made some changes to the user interface themes. You can now select between these modes:

  • Dark
  • Light
  • System (set by OS)

These settings make the Dark theme obsolete, this was a dark variant of the Paper theme. We also made a dark color schema for the Compact theme so you can still turn the lights off when working on a smaller screen.

The new theming mechanism uses CSS variables therefore it can hot-swap the colors without reloading the page. This is especially useful when you are using the "System default" option. Let's say your OS switches to dark mode at 20:00, GroupOffice will switch as well without needing to reload. 😎
