Bitdefender Safepay - Dark Mode/Dark Theme

Subject: Feature Request: Dark Mode Support in Bitdefender Safepay

Dear Bitdefender Team,

I would like to formally request the implementation of a Dark Mode/Dark Theme feature within Bitdefender Safepay. Specifically, it would be beneficial to include:

An option in the Safepay settings menu to activate a Dark Mode/Dark Theme interface for the application itself.
A sub-option that allows webpages rendered within Safepay to be displayed in Dark Mode, ensuring a consistent visual experience across both the browser interface and web content.

As Safepay is built on the Chromium browser engine, it is technically feasible to enable dark rendering of web content via chrome://flags, particularly using the "Auto Dark Mode for Web Contents" flag. While this flag modifies the appearance of websites, it does not apply to the Safepay application interface.

Implementing native Dark Mode support for both the Safepay UI and in-browser content would significantly improve accessibility and user comfort, particularly during extended usage or low-light conditions.

Thank you for considering this feature enhancement. I look forward to any updates or feedback from your development team.

Kind regards, 😊

Hi and thanks for sharing your suggestion.

Tagging @camarie for an opinion here. 🙂

@Support User, just for your information, I spent a considerable amount of time requesting Bitdefender to implement a dark mode feature in their consumer product line. It eventually took them a few months to roll it out. However, since your request pertains only to Bitdefender SafePay, it should ideally take less time to implement. As @Alexandru_BD mentioned, @camarie can provide more information here, as he works on the development of Bitdefender SafePay.

Between, below is the link to the feature request for dark mode that was submitted for implementation in the Bitdefender consumer product line.

It will be, most likely, but now we are in a major UI revamp, which will change the underlying technology. (As a side note, I am changing Safepay also to follow the new regulations regarding 1. keyboard accessibility (already done) and 2. Windows accessibility via Narrator (in progress) - and these are very time consuming but nonetheless needed to be done).

As for the dark scheme, Safepay is already on a black scheme, and the browsers themselves embedded in Safepay are following the dark scheme if changed from the product. It is not 100% exactly what you would like, sure, but enabling dark mode from the main interface - something which you might already have set - might be an improvement until the full scheme will get in place.

But your suggestion is noted, and hopefully it will make it into the product in the next period. I have to confer with the design colleagues about a timeline - they are over their heads with the new interface technology I mentioned above - and, although I am not directly involved in the UI details, from my experience it will come up pretty quickly on the next to-do list in the next period.

Hi Flexx ,

Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful reply, and congratulations on your well-earned Defender of the Year/Month titles :)

It’s really encouraging to hear that your past efforts helped bring dark mode to the broader Bitdefender suite. Your experience gives me hope that this Safepay-specific enhancement might follow a similar path maybe even more swiftly, as you suggested.

I also appreciated the link to the earlier feature request; it’s great to see how persistent user feedback can lead to meaningful improvements. I’ll be rooting for more visual and accessibility features to be rolled out soon, and truly appreciate you lending your support to this one.

Warm regards,
Support User

Hi Camarie,

Thank you for taking the time to respond with such detail, I really appreciate your transparency and the glimpse into what’s happening behind the scenes.

It’s exciting to hear that Safepay is undergoing a major UI revamp, and even more impressive that accessibility improvements like keyboard navigation and Windows Narrator support are actively being prioritized. That kind of thoughtful development work is truly commendable.

I understand the current black scheme already covers part of the request, and I’m grateful that you’ve noted the suggestion for fuller dark mode integration in future iterations. It’s reassuring to know it’s on the radar, and I’m looking forward to seeing how Safepay evolves.

Thanks again for all the work you and your team are doing to make Bitdefender products more intuitive and user-friendly.

Best regards,
Support User 😊
