Cloudflare Radar Now Has Dark Mode!

Hey there, it's Shiichan! Today I've got some news that's easy on the eyes. Staring at a dashboard at night can be a little blinding, right? I bet you've felt that too.

What was announced?

From Cloudflare's Changelog: Radar, the dashboard that visualizes how the internet is moving, finally has dark mode. A theme selector now sits in the upper-right corner so you can switch the look from there.

The story so far

Until now, Radar only came in a light theme. You often end up staring at traffic trends and attack activity for a while, so being stuck with a bright white background was a bit of a shame.

What changes

From the theme selector in the upper right, you can now pick from three options:

  • Light ... the standard light theme, same as before
  • Dark ... a full dark theme
  • System ... follows your operating system preference

The nice part is that your choice applies across all Radar pages and widgets. It even carries over to graphs you share or embed on other sites.

Dive Deep

The key detail is that the theme applies to embedded and shared graphs too. So if you've been putting Cloudflare Radar graphs into your blog or reports, you can now match them to your page's vibe by going dark. And if you pick System, it automatically adapts to each reader's environment, which is a thoughtful touch.

Wrap-up

  • Radar added dark mode
  • Themes are Light, Dark, or System
  • It applies to all pages and widgets, plus shared and embedded graphs

A small but quietly handy update for data fans who watch Radar every day, and for anyone embedding its graphs into their posts.
