The Google Help Center is an important place to get help with Google products. It has now gotten the Material Theme overhaul along with a sleek dark mode.

The Help Center is an important piece of every Google Product, hosting many helpful articles and questions. It is constantly being updated with tutorials and troubleshooting tips and it covers pretty much every Google service whether it is for consumers or for businesses. If you ever have a question about a Google product you should always see if your question is in the Help Center as it is often well explained and presented.

Below you can see the Material Theme makeover in all its glory. It is very minimalistic, clean and puts the content in focus.

I personally find the Material Theme makeover to be a fantastic addition to the Help Center. It looks stunning and makes the Help Center easier to use. The added bonus of a dark mode is both surprising and amazing. It looks magnificent and I'm sure many will appreciate this.

What do you think the Material Theme makeover and dark mode? Are you a dark or light theme user?
