AI-generated from the code · Odoo 19.0

Lets each user turn Odoo's backend dark or light from the user menu, or follow their device's system preference. The choice is saved per user and applied automatically on every page.

This module adds a Dark Mode option to the user menu in the top-right corner of the Odoo backend. Clicking it switches the whole interface between dark and light colours and reloads the page so the change takes effect immediately.

Each user's choice is stored on their own profile, so different people can use different colour schemes on the same database. In the user preferences screen, under the other preferences group, there is a new checkbox called "Device Dependent Dark Mode". When this is ticked, Odoo ignores the manual switch and instead follows the colour scheme reported by the user's browser or operating system, updating automatically when the device switches between light and dark.

The module works on the res.users and res.users.settings models to store the two preferences, and extends ir.http so the correct colour scheme is chosen on each request and remembered in a cookie. It also adds the switch entry to the user menu and a colour scheme service in the web client. It is designed for Odoo Community Edition and is excluded from Enterprise.
