Starting today, users will be able to use Dark Mode when using Google Calendar. This update follows similar UI refreshes of other Google products including Gmail, Drive, and Docs.

As part of the redesign, Calendar now has rounded corners from the main view to the sidebar and a new light blue background. This is consistent with the look other Google products have received.

In a blog post, Google mentions other “Material Design 3” design changes:

A major change is that Google Calendar finally has a dark mode, which can be set as the default or switched with the standard light mode It can be set as the default or switched to the standard light mode. The primary calendar will be much darker than the menus and containers. 7]

If you have received an update, you can find it in the Theme Options section under the Gear icon in Settings and click Appearance.

Google notes that this update may affect the calendar and any Chrome extensions that change the visual appearance of Chrome.

“This may affect the usability of installed Chrome extensions that are enabled when using Google Calendar. As a result, these extensions may not work as expected. We recommend that you contact the developers of those extensions to report potential problems."

Additionally, the tasks.google.com site received the same update.

As with most Google software updates, this will roll out over the next few weeks. As such, there is no guarantee that you will be able to access the update immediately; according to Google, the update will be available to “all Google Workspace customers, Workspace personal subscribers, and users with personal Google accounts.”
