In Developers Options you can enable "force dark mode" which will forcibly enable dark mode for apps originally not having it. For example Facebook app will turn to dark with this option enabled.
Unfortunately this option get disabled after reboot.
Is there a way to keep it enabled? May be some hack (for non-root) exists?
No... It's for safety precautions
Make a Bixby Routine to enable Dark Mode when you need it.

that will not enable dark mode for facebook. Facebook does not support dark mode and hence you either enable it in developer options to forcibly make fb dark (and break swiftkey keyboard and other apps) until restart, or you delete fb and use a webpage of fb in samsung browser in dark mode (the moon icon on the browser).

I noticed EdgeLighting does not work with all the apps,and I found the cause.
#Edge Lighting trigger condition
1. First, target apps notification "on" in Edge Lighting setting.
2. Disable "Heads-up notifications" switch.
3. Enable "Power Notification Controlls" switch.
4. Set the Notifications importance level in system setting, level4 higher.(always peeking)
*To apply the conditions 2,3 we use SystemUI Tuner(u can download at playstore)
The detail is refer to "Fixing Notifications" in this page bottom.
(I'm not good english ,so can't explain well by myself. sorry ;q).

It's necessary heads-up notification should be turned off.
If u don't turn it off Edge Lighting will hide.
enjoy
I will try it. Thank you very much.
in my own experience, edge lighting works with Heads-up notification enabled..
also for screen off to work with all apps need to use Lightflow Legacy.

Not working. Followed your steps. Not working for whatsapp (control level is max and notification added to light flow with switch screen on in general settings)
Tried with heads up on and off (via System UI Tuner) as well
What I'm missing?
Help needed.

I'll try that. thanks.
I'm trying to figure out how to get the edge lighting to work. I've set it up to trigger on all app notifications and I have yet to see the lighting function.
Is there a trick to get this to work? Does lighting work when having AOD on?
The apps should also support edge lighting, otherwise you wont see it. As of now, only samsungs default apps only support.
You can use the app called "Edge Mask" from play store to customize edge lighting for all apps.
this is how I got it working with all apps defined & in state screen on or off:
First disable notification for all apps you want to show with new notif style
in settings > notification
install SystemUI Tuner from playstore,
then in miscellaneous > enable Heads-Up Notifications.
scroll down and enable Power Notification controls.
now go back to notification setting, tap the app then slide to level 4 or 5 (peek enable)
the notification for the app should be in new style now (edge lighting enabled)
Now the trick so it also works with screen off:
install from playstore: Lightflow legacy
Add Lightflow in edge lighting setting "manage apps notification"
setting in lightflow app:
the key is the setting in lightflow must enable "Switch screen on" in the app setting
After you add the app in lightflow, goto app setting and tab Notification, scroll and enable switch screen on.
then you will have edge lighting notif for other apps too.
I cannot attach pics here, but I have posted here:

Thanks man, now I have it working with screen on. Just can't figure out how to make it work with screen off heaven with your trick with light flow.
have u turn on edge lighting setting to "Always" ?
also add light flow and all apps defined in edge lighting manage apps.
Any chance you could point me to working root for the S8+ to install SystemUI Tuner? Model: SM-G955F
root is not necessary. just install System UI tuner from playstore,
then follow the step to enable permission from adb . are u familiar with adb ?
- enable developer mode on phone, then turn on usb debugging
- connect phone to computer, start adb
- type in the set permission command in adb, as instructed in the app.
- then follow my instruction above.
I guess that the edge lighting for apps when the screen is on but not when it's off i'm talking about whatsapp for instance it gives you an edge lighted notification when screen is on but not when it's off although you have it in the edge lighting permissions toggled on ,
all you need to do is to turn on the pop up notification in the whatsapp application either for always or only when the screen is off but for me I did it only for when screen is turned off
enjooy
I got whatsapp edge lighting work with display off. But there isn't the text of the message. Only the icon on the screen.
@Bautinho88 How did U manage to make it working for whatsapp with screen off? For me it only works when I select "popup" on whatsapp and that's not good for me
Still wouldn't work on apps with custom notification APIs like Facebook Messenger. Oreo removes the ability to have power notifications too, btw
And lightflow/glimpse notifications seems like a half-baked solution, since it hijacks the icon, and doesn't display any message info for me. Also it hijacks the color.
Oreo allows notification channels, which lets me enable it for most of my apps. like i said, the only ones that don't work use custom APIs for notifications.
I don't think we will ever see a fully working 'Edge Lighting Notifications" as long as it's running as an APK. It should be built into the UI/system in Samsung's skin so that it's not piggy-backing off of notifications with Android, and rather Pre-skinning it as the notifications come in.
My phone is now updated to One UI 2, Android 10. I was expecting this to result in eg gmail app being in dark mode, but it is not. I've checked for the themes option in Gmail settings but it doesn't exist.
I also tried force Dark mode in dev options but this did not sort it. Also this did not seem to force whatsapp into a dark mode.
Have you tried a complete system cache clean up from recovery?
It is worth trying.

Tried this. Now have Gmail in dark mode (as set in display settings) Thanks for the tip [emoji1531]
WhatsApp still not in dark mode when force dark mode is enabled.
Most of my apps went dark except for Google one. Even my bank app did which i thought wouldn't because of the security factors.
But its not perfect Facebook and Mesenger seem to go dark but you get inverted colours on most of it, if i want to use them i have to turn off force dark mode.
I would like Google to bring back Dark cards for Google Feed and assistant.
Use #hex if you want to customize Some backgrounds like gmail, maps, Assistant ect.
face an issue in
Redmi Note 7 Pro - MIUI 12 - Android 10.
The override force dark mode option was existing before. And it was enabled at that time. Now it's gone. In Google phone app when in a call if I tap speaker button, the white overlay is black and can't even find if it's in speaker mode.
Is there any ADB code so that I can manually disable it.
I experienced the same thing, and see the "Individual apps" listed under Dark mode in settings *only when dark mode is enabled*
When the switch is set to off, the advanced options is hidden. Nice UX
Is there a way to turn on dark mode without having the apps going dark? I want to keep all apps light but have system dark mode on.

I think apps choose theme according to which system is using at the moment.
If android is set to dark mode, apps will be with dark theme too.
Some apps though allow to manually set desired theme.
