Feature Request: Allow users to choose Light/Dark mode independently

Gerard Iscala 21 days ago

Hello Traccar team,

I would like to suggest an improvement to the web interface regarding the Light/Dark mode.

I'm currently using Traccar 6.16.0 and I noticed that the Dark Mode setting is not available as an individual preference for regular users. It appears to be controlled at the server level or through the browser/OS environment.

It would be very useful to allow each user to choose their preferred interface theme independently, for example:

  • Light
  • Dark
  • Automatic (follow the browser/OS preference)

For example, on the same Traccar server:

  • User A could use Light mode.
  • User B could use Dark mode.
  • User C could follow the system/browser preference.

This would be especially useful when a Traccar installation is used by multiple users with different preferences. The administrator could still define a default theme for the server, but individual users could override that default without requiring administrator privileges.

Ideally, this could be implemented as a user preference in the Preferences/Settings section, with the following behavior:

Theme:

  • Automatic
  • Light
  • Dark

The selected preference would be stored for the individual user and synchronized across sessions/devices, rather than being dependent only on the browser or operating system.

I believe this would improve the user experience without changing the existing server-wide configuration behavior.

Thank you for considering this feature.
