Many users complained of the feeling of fatigue caused by using such a white screen . As Microsoft has explained, dark mode is one of the most requested features by users of Microsoft's webmail service.

Thus, to achieve an effective dark mode, Microsoft was in charge of fine-tuning the colors and tones, with the aim of achieving a more pleasant experience for all those who spend long hours in front of the computer. At the moment, the dark mode is only available for the classic version, the one with the blue theme. It is expected, however, that later each and every one of the existing themes will have their own dark mode.
