Is it possible to switch off in default the new gray look of BO? In our opinion, it doesn't look good and the first customer has already told us so...
The best solution would probably be to be able to manually activate it in the settings if some of the users want to.

We would also prefer in default set the website to Full-width mode - it looks more modern then the old normal width. We think, that a lot of users do not know about option to change it and Full-width mode feels better for guests and new customers...
What other sellers think about this? 👀

@Lawrence maybe you changed something by mistake?
I do agree it’s ugly. But I thought that was the point.
I've just adjusted to light mode in settings and all is fine now.
1) The dark mode isn't dark enough / The dark mode is ugly, if a designer designed it, it would be fine
2) I don't want the website to be dark mode, even though the browser/device is in dark mode.
3) Something else
I made a quick mockup without much thinking, but the this for a dark theme is to make it lighter on the eyes.
There usually are 2 or 3 options, being light the default, tinted for a less light touch (attached image) and a full dark/black mode like GitHub for example.
On my storefront I used a color for the top and background that made it distinct and not so light, but now with gray it is quite ugly...
Brickset has also light and black themes you can check.
PD: having a profound designer take a spin to it might be needed for such a large site as it depends too much on whites.
It's a "recent" (2020) browser addition, to be able to adjust the website based on the browser/system dark mode preference. However, clearly users did not expect that
#page, .region-bottom, #header-inner, #footer, #footer-legal, #navigation, #magic-top{max-width:1114px;}
It is probably difficult to explain, so an example (gray boxes are for privacy reasons):
