mer-curious Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 I agree with you. I also prefer the dark theme. I reported this situation in here: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpha Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 Hey everybody. Thanks for the feedback. I'll be looking for a new dark theme for everyone to be able to choose from in the coming week. Unfortunately I can't bring back the old theme due to an incompatibility issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mer-curious Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 Six months later and no dark theme yet. 😂 Anyway, I followed Tux's advice and installed a browser extension to change the colors. I'm using Dark Reader (https://github.com/darkreader/darkreader), which is compatible with Chrome, Firefox, MS Edge and also Firefox for android! But I don't know if they work in Linux. 🤔 I have to say I can no longer live without this extension. It saves my life when I'm having a headache and have to use the computer or smartphone.

Tux Posted August 12, 2021 Author Share Posted August 12, 2021 Thanks for the tip, I'll give it a try, yeah browser extensions are multi-os but not always multi-browser. Mine had problems with some sites, this one seems more polished, so I'll happily test it, thanks ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpha Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 Sorry for the ridiculous delay. I haven't had much time to dedicate to this site. Regardless, we have some new features built in now (you'll notice a new ranking system) as part of some upgrades. I'll check with Invision to see if there's a dark theme option. I can't see why they wouldn't have it built in at this point, especially since both Windows/Mac have built in dark modes now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tux Posted August 10, 2022 Author Share Posted August 10, 2022 Reviving an old topic : if you, like me are using "dark reader" and have some troubles with the new gmail style, just open the settings for "dark reader", click on "More...", then choose either "Filter" or "Filter+" for gmail, but then don't forget to remove the news below (x), and then choose "for this site only", because most other sites work fine with the dynamic setting, but the icons of gmail at the top of the screen become invisible if using dynamic. That's all, and the "dark" themes from gmail without "dark reader" leave the background of the mails in white, so they are nice but not really useful, but you can combine them with dark reader by using this setting ! Thanks again to mer-curious for finding this extension ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello Tux! Thank you for the tip. But I don't seem to have this issue here in Firefox/Windows, take a look: https://imgur.com/d0j5mzA As for Alpha's promise for a dark theme in the forum, it is almost completing it's first anniversary. 😂😅 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, nice birthday ! but anyway with such an extension it's not a problem anymore... ! The blurry picture in the background is not the best effect, still experimenting with this, but it gives you an idea of the changes !
