Hello everyone, I don’t know if this is a bug or I’m doing something wrong, but in some of the mobile apps I’m working on there is no option to choose a theme for the app (light/dark theme). You can see in the image, there is no option in the Appearance Settings to choose a Theme. ![glide](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/c/8/c8bfe061cc492f10056692f69db9b3f524240286.jpeg) This happens only in some of the apps I’m working on. Does anyone have any idea why this is happening and what to do about it? Thanks in advance, Kat ---

Dark mode is currently only available in “classic apps”. Your screenshot looks like it’s from pages/ apps. The workaround for now is to use css but you’d have to be on business or enterprise for css to work in new apps. ---

Thank you, Eric! Fortunately, in the end my client opted for a light theme, so I don’t have to change anything. Anyhow, I’ll have this issue in mind, and choose classic apps in the future if necessary. Hope dark theme(s) get implemented sometime soon. Cheers, Kat ---

FYI support for classic apps will end sometime at the end of year/ beginning of next year. New features (I.e integrations like push notification and open AI) are exclusive for new apps/ pages. ---
