How Do I Enable Dark Mode in MagicSchool?

MagicSchool now supports Dark Mode to help reduce eye strain, personalize your experience, and give the platform a more modern, polished feel.

How to Change Your Theme

Choose from three available theme options:

  1. Click the theme icon located in the top-right corner of your MagicSchool screen (beside your profile picture)

  2. Choose from these options:

    • Light Mode – Classic bright background

    • Dark Mode – Darker background designed to minimize glare

    • System Default – Automatically syncs with your device's current theme

Your theme selection will instantly apply site-wide and remain saved for all future sessions.

Why Use Dark Mode?

  • Minimizes eye strain during extended work sessions or nighttime use

  • Enhances text readability in dimly lit environments

  • Offers greater control over your MagicSchool's appearance and feel

  • Seamlessly matches your device's system preferences when desired

FAQs

Does this impact my workflow or access to tools?

No—all functionality remains identical. Only the visual theme changes.

Will my theme choice be saved?

Yes—your selected theme will stay active across all sessions on the same browser.

Can students access Dark Mode as well?

Absolutely! Theme options are available to all users, including students and administrators.

Can our school establish a default theme for everyone?

Currently not—theme selection is controlled individually by each user.

Is dark mode supported in Canvas or Schoology?

No. Dark mode is unavailable in LTI environments (Canvas, Schoology, etc.) because these platforms only support light themes, and MagicSchool displays within their existing interface.
