I am experimenting with the console, as I have to sit down for extended hours using it, so I thought to use it in dark mode. Does anybody know how to do it without cookie modification?

Update 21st Oct 2022: For All AWS Resources to support Dark Mode. Do the following in the Unified Settings
- Login to http://console.aws.amazon.com
- in the top right corner, click on your user@aws_account_number,
- Go to Settings-> Display -> Edit -> Visual Mode or go to https://us-east-1.console.aws.amazon.com/settings/home
- Choose your preferred visual mode. The dark mode might not apply across all AWS service consoles.
- Save Settings
Another way, with Chrome, you can do it in the following ways via the cookie, log into the AWS console first.. then:
- In Chrome, go to Chrome Developer Tools
- Go to Application -> Storage -> Cookies then expand the cookies section and there will be the console URL that you are on like https://us-east-1.console.aws.amazon.com/console/home?region=us-east-1.
- Click the console URL and it will show you all the attributes associated.
- Look for 'awsc-color-theme' the value should be 'light'.
- Change the value to 'dark'.
- Now refresh the AWS console and you'll see it in dark mode Enjoy!
Update 04 Oct 2022: AWS has changed the cookie name from 'aws-color-theme' to 'awsc-color-theme'. After this hack, the services that would be available in the dark mode with the console are following, AWS is continuously developing in this direction. As of this time, when the console session expires, which usually happens I think in 12 hours, the cookies in the developer panel will reset to default light.
