It would be awesome if you could add Dark mode to this server. It would all end up in a better user experience for the end user. After all, no one likes eyestrain. :)

That's a nice idea, it'd make the forum easier to browse through, especially at night time.

Hmm, it would require me to copy this theme and do all the CSS and graphics changes by myself (some style backgrounds are made of pictures). Would be a bigger project. :/

Yeah... tried the Darkreader addon for firefox ...the pictures popped extreamly bright and made it worse.
Maybe not worth it.

chromium based browsers (i use Brave) have a experimental option called "Auto dark mode for Web Contents"
check:
chrome://flags
Search for the "Auto dark mode for Web Contents"

select Enable with Selective inversion of non-image elements to not get images converted.

Not sure if there's something similar in FIrefox about:config

Oh thats nice! I use Brave on Android and just activated this setting. Bright graphics aside, it looks better than expected. :)

If you like that, how do you feel about a Hello Kitty themed skin for the forum?
