Forum Dark Theme

alcoraptor · September 2020

Can we get a dark theme option for the forum so that those of us who read in low light are not blinded by the white background?
Could be a toggle so people who don't want it can leave it off

for pc see for browser addons, i'm pretty happy with dirk night mode (mozila and chrome). on phone it also can be pushed to through settings/flags.

There is a free browser extension called "Dark Mode" I've used for years, it works universally for any site you want to have an unofficial dark mode. You can toggle it on/off for whatever site you want, including the forums. It would be nice to see the forums have an official dark them though

Just click the icon for whatever browser you're using (or, if you prefer you can also download the addon via mozilla, google, opera, etc)

Darkreader is great, I use that on my laptop.
It doesn't work on Chrome Android though unfortunately.

And if you're like me, using Pale Moon (a fork of Firefox), you can get a Pale Moon specific addon that does this as well:

Advanced Night Mode

I would love a dark theme. Mainly because too much white hurts my eyes. That's another reason I'm known as darkness, because I love dark colors. xD

Opera, for both mobile and desktop, has a night mode option. It's also noticeably faster than firefox.

Would be amazing, my eyes really have trouble with all the full white website/forum.

Not for me, but that's more to do with my non-optimal satellite 'net probably. In fact, aside from being pissed at firefox because they change stuff that does NOT need changing with every release, that's why I use Pale Moon. It's much lighter weight than ff, and my sub-optimal connection is happier with it than any other browser around right now.

Of course, the majority of people have really great connections, so whichever browser suits them is what they use. At least I don't have to beat my brains out to make sure people who use MS browsers get the same website display as other browsers - much easier for me, and of course my clients don't constantly email me about "someone says the site has *whatever display issue* because they're using MS browsers". I actually think Edge is pretty compliant - but I do have people still using IE (bad as that may be), and I haven't heard anything from any of them in a couple of years now....
