Joining Josh with my monthly comment on release notes requesting Dark Mode, or a simple statement by someone from Freshdesk about Dark Mode.

I actually already have Dark Theme enabled, its in the top right when I choose my face. Then appearance and dark mode… Appearance does show BETA so maybe its a feature not everyone has. 

Its a pain anyway just means you need to choose other colours than dark ones for your tickets else youll just see dark text on a dark background aha


All these cosmetic changes are being made yet security breaches are not being worked on?

They don’t actually seem to care about Freshdesk. All of their development is on Freddy AI and stuff like that. Nearly every request here and on their ideas pages for Freshdesk have been sitting there for over a year.
