Dark Mode

[Digger]

Another regular gentle request to consider adding in an option for a forum Dark Mode please.

Far more relaxing on tired eyes when required.

There is a reason more and more forums are adding it in as an option.

Thanks for reading.



Again.

PS For those running Desktop Opera . . . the extension Dark Mode Version 0.3.4 by dlinbernard works well for me.

Can you not just alter your screen settings? My phone has a dark mode.

Windows 10? Tried Night Light?

iOS here and Firefox night mode is great.

Search has been broken since 2003 and pages scroll to the wrong place since 2014 - suspect the sun will go out before dark mode arrives.

Win 10 has a dark mode which works with Pistonheads, the 'favicon' in the favourites bar is a 'fail' tho' black icon on a black background :-)

Are you referring to Night Light as mentioned above. Night Light is horrible.
An optionable dropdown theme for a Dark Mode at the bottom of the screen would be great. Did we not used to have a choice of 2 or 3 themes?

People would still fashion an excuse to complain about it though lol.

That is horrible, but as mentioned I have an Opera Extension which works for me . . . except you have to more often than not switch it off as obviously many websites are not 100% compatible.

I can tolerate the normal theme, until later in the day or in the evening when this is preferable (note this for Opera browser on PC) . . . Even an Ipad Pro is yet to have a proper dark mode for browsers!



to this . . .

Zero chance of this ever being a feature.

[Digger]

I applaud your optimism chaps

W10 and Firefox here, I have Dark Reader on Firefox which can be turned on/off and is excellent.

Sorry for lifting this but this is amazing if you are using MS Edge

Aint that true.

On android phones. Just enable the 'eye comfort shield' from the phones drop down menu. It takes alot of the blue light out of your screen . Gives it more of a yellow tint which is much easier to read at night. I assume most monitors these days can adjust for this setting.

I appreciate the need, but with the exception of a total rewrite of the forums there's no way we could code around layers of duct tape and polyfilla in the forum's CSS to introduce a dark mode.

Sounds like some investment is required!

There’s an extension for safari called noir. Its £2.50 but turns most websites to dark mode.
It works for PH.
