When running with DEBUG=True
Django displays an error page when an exception occurs. I love this feature, but the light-only theme can be hard on the eyes during night coding.
I would like to request the addition of a dark mode for the DEBUG error page. I also believe that this enhancement will improve Django’s accessibility.
Thanks!

Thank you for your feedback about the Django debug error page. While I understand your request for a dark mode option for the debug error page, I should clarify that this isn't something I can directly implement as it would require changes to Django's core codebase.
As mentioned in the documentation, the DEBUG=True
setting is intended for development environments and provides detailed error pages with tracebacks, local variables, and other helpful debugging information. However, the documentation emphasizes:
You must never enable debug in production.
This is because debug pages reveal sensitive information about your application that could be exploited by malicious users.
While Django doesn't currently offer a built-in dark mode for debug pages, you might consider:

environment variableIf you'd like to formally request this feature, you could:
Remember that while using DEBUG=True
is great for development, you should always disable it in production environments for security and performance reasons.
