  • Google Calendar on the web just added a dark mode theme.
  • The change is part of a wider design refresh for the web version of the Google app.
  • The updates started rolling out on Wednesday and should be available to all users over the coming weeks.

Google’s suite of apps is so polished that you can make certain assumptions about how what features it has. These assumptions aren’t always accurate — I just learned that the web version of Google Calendar didn’t have a dark mode until this week. A recent design update to the app has corrected this omission, allowing users to choose between light, dark, and device default themes.

A Google Workspaces update on Wednesday announced a refreshed user interface for the Calendar app, with several changes made to bring the look in line with Google Material Design 3. The introduction of dark mode is just one of these new measures, and it will come as welcome news to users who always opt for the more eye-friendly color scheme.
