I was about to file an enhancement for Safari's Web Inspector dark UI theme (as it exists on Chrome/Firefox as Vitaly said including the comment for night/sensitive eyes). Timothy Hatcher (@xeenon) suggested I should write in! It is a great feature and to continue the macOS dark menu bar and Dock theme trend :-)

As many of us expected a dark theme was delayed a few years for Safari/Webkit presumably because Apple wanted to announced a more OS level dark mode all at once. With that now officially announced, and a dark theme available now in Safari and X Code my concern is that unlike Chrome and others the theme is only available in MacOS dark mode presumably. White text on black screens everywhere in an OS of course can be a bit of an accessibility nightmare and poor for long term vision, but night modes/themes in certain apps is wonderful such as coding especially where the font is colored rather than white. So curious how we will be able to have a dark theme in Safari without having to enable OS level dark modes. Does Webkit plan to now offer a dark theme? Also where the OS level mode presumably does not allow you install themes using css like Chrome, will Webkit?

Hi Chris, (In reply to Chris Chiera from comment #7) > So curious how we will be able to have a dark theme in Safari without having > to enable OS level dark modes.

The Web Inspector changes for dark theme (i.e, what you can see in the MacOS Mojave seed) will be posted to the WebKit repository in the coming few weeks. At that time, we can decide in what ways it should be usable. Right now, it is hardcoded to follow the system appearance. I don't foresee any problems making it possible to opt in just Web Inspector, but it hasn't been implemented yet.
