Forum "dark theme"

Me please.

Using chrome's flags to force the content "dark" isn't always very successful. A native forum dark theme would work so much better.

Great idea.

[Low Pro]

Yes please

The Dark Reader addon works quite well for me:

IPadOS using dark theme and smart invert switches PH to a dark theme without the need for any 3rd party apps.

Not a fan of dark themes. Notably, after reading light text on a dark background and then turning my attention away from the screen, my eyes go very weird like the light text has made some kind of imprint that interferes with my vision.

I'm afraid this is not on the to do list and probably won't make it on there for a long time.

We used to have different themes, but they were essentially three different sites, meaning three times the work on upkeep/updates etc due to the ancient platform the forums is on!

Appreciate the feedback though

Running iPadOS & dark theme with Safari, how do you get PH to go dark as well?

Worked it out, as well as triple-clicking option to turn on or off. An improvement at least.

I had to switch on “smart invert” in the display menu under the accessibility settings. That switches PH to dark.

Fair play that Dark Reader for Chrome is superb. Using it for a lot of sites now.

[vaud]

Ohhh that works well. Thanks!

Firefox has night mode.

[irocfan]

I can't handle dark - really sends my eyes scatty and end up with a headache (mind you it'd work wonders for getting me to stay off the damn 'puter)

Using Dark Reader for Firefox here too.

I'm surprised not more sites are offering a dark mode, as most OSes (Windows, Android, ...) are even offering it, same thing probably goes for a lot of the stuff sites run on(forum software and what have you).
