WhatsApp is developing a new background colour with a slimmed-down sidebar for the web client version of its dark theme in an effort to improve usability and reduce eye strain in low-light environments.
It has planned to include this interface modification in a later version. Three months prior, WhatsApp was in the process of creating a new sidebar as part of its endeavours to update the web client layout and give users a better chat experience.
Although the sidebar is still under design, it has been discovered that WhatsApp intends to have a unique colour for its dark theme in the web version.
This change is expected to result in an interface that is more appealing in addition to being more aesthetically pleasing. The softer colour scheme, which goes from #12 b 20 to #13 d C, is more understated but has a bigger impact.
It is also better in low light. It gives people greater protection for their eyes and an overall comfortable environment.
The new WhatsApp upgrade will explicitly cater to users' needs for a refreshed experience, going beyond just being aesthetically pleasing.
The matching shift to a new colour for the dark theme also pays homage to WhatsApp's recent redesign of its Android app, which included additions like a bottom navigation bar and an updated colour scheme for the dark mode.
