    I'll be straight to the point: an enforced dark background with pale text would ruin this already clear/clean forum. I tried HB forum for a couple of looks and gave up. An option to switch colour scheme is fine; just don't enforce "night mode".

    Agree with your there. I didn't like the looks of hostballs for some reason as well. But having a theme chooser might be nice. It'll be well in the future, but it might be nice.

    I mean this in the least offensive way possible but the problem generally on themes is that opinions and preferences are like arse (ass) holes in that everyone has one of their own :)

    The best solution is to include code to allow users to tweak their own view preferences, I imagine the most simple method being a css switcher button or something similar, but that may need to wait as I cant imagine its only a small amount of work but it will be done.

    Request: New logo & favicon
    Suggestion: Run a small contest?

    :o how rude, whats wrong with the favicon!
    Ok logo I get. :)

    Just change around the font in End and Spirit; puting the emphasis on LowEnd and the Spirit more 'ghostly'. (Geddit?)
    Damn, it's past Halloween. :-|

    Actually as I say that i wonder if its possible for me just to have an alternate server running just a web server connecting back to the same database but forcing it on to the dark theme on a separate sub domain but showing the same content night.lowendspirirt.com or something.

    Will ponder that.

    Why not just propose to install the stylus plugin so each user can have their own experience?

    Because that only caters for those that use chrome and its a bit more effort for people to make for 1 site.

    But it's great to use it to mod the style and once it's complete, you can just offer it as an add on css in the method I mentioned over PM.

  • This may have been useful, shame it was abandoned though:

    Perhaps a coding guru here can update it, if considered worthwhile.

  • @AnthonySmith here goes the background color

    .Frame-content, .Item, .Preview {
        background-color: #FAFAFA !important;
    }
    

    If you want to style the comment box too, use the one below. I deliberately didn't do that because due to the difference in colors it's more obvious to users where actions can be taken (the pager stands out as well as the comment textbox).

    .Frame-content, .Item, .Preview, .TextBox {
        background-color: #FAFAFA !important;
    }

    In dire need of a dark theme :(

    ExoticVM.com - Find VPS in exotic locations!

  • When I had a play with inspect element I found setting the whole page BG to fafafa, but the container as white worked nicely, as on a wide monitor the off white edges break it up, but as Ant says - opinions...

    I'm not a massive dark mode fan for websites, but it depends how it's done. My monitor brightness is pretty low anyway, but I do think breaking up some of the white would improve the look - as I say even if the white for the content stayed but the edges were off white.

    Ah, yea, I came up with my own one btw. See if this is something you want to use as a "dark theme". All you need to do to implement this is upload the CSS file and add it to your header file of the theme. Just ensure this is the "LAST" line before the tag.

  • Updated CSS to fix the attachment display.

  • @somik That looks really good! I hope it can be a switch on-off thing though. I like both versions, just that I need one for different times of the day.

  • Hope @AnthonySmith decides to use it. I can think of a few ways to implement cookie based theme change but that would require a JS script to set the cookie and a JS script to load the css as long as the cookie is valid. But for both, I need access to the theme files. Also as I said before, I'm not that good at JS or jquery...

    When time is there it should be an easy task to create a plugin that will let people toggle between light and dark mode. That said, it's repeatedly pointed out before it's not much of a priority for now so I don't think it'll happen soon. It's good to see so much feedback though :)

    I don't really feel its right just to change everyone to a dark theme, I mean I can switch dark mode on from the back end, this theme has one, I will enable it for the rest of the day.

    But a user driven switcher is 100% required for the long term, will make a separate post about it now.

    It was very temporary so I could take a look at some stuff to let people choose their own theme.

    Ah, I missed it... Can someone screenshot me what it looked like?

    Btw, I'm using chrome addon Stylus now to use the css I posted. It works great as a temporary dark mode for my browsers in the mean-time.

    Site's color scheme is white-green, favicon is blue-white...

    Well if your going to use common sense and logic i dont want to take part in this conversation.

    LOL! Thats why we are suggesting to come up with a new logo design contest. One man doing it all is never going to be fast enough.

    full refresh, the favicon is green now! :)

    Attached updated CSS that I'm using to convert the white theme to dark theme. I missed out the notifications tab previously, and the attachments still had padding issues. Also, fixed the emotes centering issue.
