Dark mode on boards?

[Lilbit_kittykat09]

Can we get the dark mode on threads?

 

[BiCuriousWriter]

Can't wait till we get dark mode in the forum / on threads...

 

[SoloRider]

Definitely want dark mode throughout the site.

If youre on an Android device you can go into the Developer settings and force dark mode for all apps. Its been a game changer for me.
And on PC I use a browser extension for the same.

Tested several but the forum uses a background color for unread notifications which is slightly darker than the white. The addon makes them the same so I don't see any difference.

You are correct - I hadn't even realized there was a color change. I use the "Show All" link usually to look at my alerts - the color difference isn't any better but at least it's easier to mouse-over to see the little circle that marks them.

I could write a Stylus style sheet but that will take a long time...

 

[BiCuriousWriter]

I checked. The CSS is not using css variables for what we see here. I do see css variables but just a few and not used in the forum.

Click your user name at the top right of the screen. Then click Privacy on the menu to bring up the privacy options form. Switch off the top option on the right hand side that says 'Show Your Online Status'.

Feature Request

Dark mode option when in the forum and in the control panel section. A switch control would be nice.

Reason

Uniformity, dark mode is available to read stories, poems, etc on the main side. Also user comfort.

Native dark mode support isn't available on this version of the forum software but it has been added on newer versions. Updating the core software will probably happen at some point and then it should be a case of users hitting a switch to set their preference.

Well, with proper CSS it is possible even though it's not a setting yet. It's a media query to see if the user prefers dark mode. If so, set the default css variables for colours to a different palette.

It could be written as an option to the current version of the forum but they haven't done that yet so chances are they won't. It's available on later versions of the forum software if the site ever updates.

I don't understand this. Are you saying it's something they could do, or something we the user can do?

So… it is a preference. In the browser or OS settings rather than in the site settings.

Dark mode an option not available in the older forum version that Literotica currently uses. IOW, you cannot do anything

Yes you can change your browser to dark mode, but it will not change the forum appearance.
