Google Calendar finally gets an official dark mode on the web – here’s how to find it x


  • The web version of Google Calendar has been given an official dark mode
  • The feature is rolling out globally this week to all Calendar users
  • Google has also given Calendar a “refreshed user interface”

If you’ve been patiently waiting years for Google Calendar to deliver an official dark mode, today is your day – the web version of the app has finally been given a darker optional color scheme, along with a mild redesign.

The news came in a Google Workspace blog post where Google said that it’s introducing the ability to switch between light mode, dark mode, and default themes. As previous reports have noted, dark modes can give you a small battery life saving, particularly if you’re using a device with an OLED screen.

The update is rolling out now, though it’s also become available to a few members of the TechRadar team so far. To see if you have it, head to the settings cog at the top right of the page, then in the new drop-down menu click ‘Appearance’ (see above).
