Global dark theme config (recommended)** In your `superset_config.py`, set `THEME_DARK` with the Ant Design tokens that control background and text colors [[1]](https://app.dosu.dev/a28d3c7e-a9d3-459e-9fb6-3a6f9ff4f357/documents/876a241f-01db-445e-a093-f65266ed16ff): ```python THEME_DARK = { "algorithm": "dark", "token": { "colorPrimary": "#4d9aff", "colorBgContainer": "#1a1a2e", # chart card / container background "colorBgLayout": "#0f0f1a", # page canvas background "colorText": "#e0e0e0", # primary text color "colorTextSecondary": "#a0a0a0", # secondary text }, } ``` Also make sure the dark mode toggle is enabled in your feature flags [[1]](https://app.dosu.dev/a28d3c7e-a9d3-459e-9fb6-3a6f9ff4f357/documents/876a241f-01db-445e-a093-f65266ed16ff): ```python FEATURE_FLAGS = { "THEME_ENABLE_DARK_THEME_SWITCH": True, } ``` The dashboard chart cards use `colorBgContainer` for their background [[2]](https://app.dosu.dev/a28d3c7e-a9d3-459e-9fb6-3a6f9ff4f357/documents/d88ac24d-e60c-4109-9a23-fb80e716e36a), so overriding that token is the key to fixing the white background you're seeing in dark mode. You can experiment with token values using the [Ant Design theme editor](https://ant.design/theme-editor). **2. Per-dashboard CSS override (quick fix)** If you just need to fix one dashboard, go into edit mode → **⋮ menu** → **Edit CSS** and add [[3]](https://app.dosu.dev/a28d3c7e-a9d3-459e-9fb6-3a6f9ff4f357/documents/dea161cb-f15f-45a8-a1b5-8daa94137e7b): ```css .dashboard-grid { background-color: #1a1a2e !important; color: #e0e0e0 !important; } .dashboard-component-chart-holder { background-color: #1e1e30 !important; color: #e0e0e0 !important; } ``` The global `THEME_DARK` approach (option 1) is the better long-term solution since it applies consistently across all dashboards and UI elements. Would you like me to look up the full list of available Ant Design tokens that Superset exposes? <!-- Dosu Comment Footer --> *To reply, just mention [@dosu](<https://go.dosu.dev/dosubot?utm_source=github&utm_medium=bot-comment&utm_campaign=github-comment-footer-20260415&utm_content=reply-with-mention&utm_term=apache%2Fsuperset>).* --- Share context across your team and agents.
