Is there a dark mode?

The example (https://kagi.com/search?q=steve+jobs) doesn't seem to respect my system theme on macOS.

Here is Kagi's quick answer [0], where its AI "extracts and summarizes the important content from the search results including links to the source material":

"Kagi supports dark mode functionality to reduce eye strain.[1][2] Users can select between the Royal Blue or Moon Dark default themes in their appearance settings. Additionally, the Orion browser powered by Kagi includes dark mode that can be toggled on websites.[3]"

Ah, when not logged in, it defaults to light mode.

When I logged in with my Google account, it detected the system setting.

Yes, even multiple themes. You can choose between detection of the system preference, light and dark mode. The setting is bound to your account, which I like, but I don't search much on my phone outdoors.
Interesting example for a search. I found a few things that seem like bit like basic misses:

* the regular wikipedia as the first result, and the mobile version of the same page as fourth one

* Links to https://steveblank.com/2009/06/18/epitaph-for-an-entrepreneu..., which never mentions Steve Jobs

* the above link also has the wrong date attached (Kagi thinks it was published Jul 17, 2023)

We’ve chosen imperfect examples for a reason. That is what Kagi looks like on average so you know what to expect.
TIL that there was a light mode. I've been in dark mode since I started using it
