Dark Mode across more/all Decentraland platforms/sites

Should the problem/opportunity outlined be refined and taken to the next level?

Problem Statement

I think all of Decentraland would like to have a dark mode option on about everything they look at digitally. I think night mode has been a preferred setting in DCL since I started ... I still hear people stating to turn on Night mode. I'll list a few reasons below (mostly copy/paste, but you get the point) ... it may help the community as a whole having dark mode, who knows :P

Better Sleep: When it gets dark, your brain naturally begins to produce more melatonin, the chemical that makes you sleepy. Any type of light can disrupt the melatonin levels, so people should ideally avoid all types of light as bedtime approaches.

Reduce Power Usage: The idea behind Dark Mode is that it reduces the light emitted by device screens while maintaining the minimum colour contrast ratios required for readability. Reducing the power needed and/or used to display.

Reduced Eye Strain: Dark mode users find reading easier in low light with less eye strain. In certain situation Bright mode works better and in certain situation Dark mode works better for eye strain. Having this option helps us users cater to bright or dark rooms.

Most of us just prefer it: On most any poll dark mode is the preferred setting.

Proposed Solution

Add a dark mode setting to all DCL websites/UI screens/etc.

Target Audience/Customer Base

All users and future users of Decentraland.

Why is this relevant now?

Dark mode is a commonly accepted option on most all popular digital sites and such.
