Web based Office 365 gives a great, true dark mode.

The client version will not apply the dark mode / black mode to the email preview.

Any fix for the client version? Love the dark mode of the web client but don't like the clunkiness of it.

Where? I don't see that option in my Outlook client either... email backgrounds are always white/default; the rest of the program window inherits the dark/black theme.

Rest of the suite works the same way in that default backgrounds for new Word docs and/or Excel sheets are the default white color, unless manually changed. That, iirc, is not inherited by any theme settings.

It only shows when you use the black theme. I don't use it personally, when I switch to Black theme in outlook the button appears. I am on version 1912. With the way they update Office 365 it is entirely possible you are on a build without that feature. /shrug

On Officer 365 the preview window is black .. it's awesome. I want that for the client, but it will not do that :(
