Solved Dark Mode: Can We Have It?

[ColtHandorf]

So this question is mainly posed for @Nifty-Chicken and his helpful team of busy bees that maintain things on the back end. I did some Googling, and it seems Xenforo does support a dark mode feature. I know my eyes would appreciate the respite from the blinding amount of white on the screen, and I thought others might as well. So BYC, you know the drill. Let Nifty know if you’d like to use it.

I know I felt like this all day today, with a headache every time I checked in.

Great discussion!

We have a very customized theme / style for BYC. In the past we put in a lot of time / $$ to have a dark-mode created, but then realized that few people were using it... and a lot were just using the dark-mode in their browser settings.

So, we'll keep the suggestion on our list, but it's unlikely since keeping it constantly updated is a pain, especially when relatively few were using it

Oh, for a second I thought we were going on the dark web.

I could weep with happiness.

Please no! No! No!

It's an option. You and your retinas can enjoy the blazing brightness of Erandil, the elf's most beloved star if you want.

Go to your room, Bill.

Excellent at night when you're watching TV in your dark living room, and browsing your chicken site...as your husband is talking and randomly says.."you're not even listening."

I see it as being a problem solver

Still just sitting here suffering with my cell phone.

Thanks, it's a little better. But now too much stuff is orange. Orange hurts my eyeballs, this is a well-known fact. And it flashes every time the page loads.

Better! Colors are funky but they work

Try playing around with the settings:
