Obvious one here.  It'd be *really* nice to have a dark mode for the forums.  I've gotten so used to dark modes for sites that using these bright white ones feels piercing and nearly painful to look at for a length of time, especially in the evening/at night.  

 

Somebody making a Chrome extension for this would be fantastic as well.

Darker is invariably harder to read by its nature.

I hear you, though. If it ever bugged me, I'd either turn my monitor brightness down or put on sunglasses (seriously).

I find dark modes difficult to use. So I use f.lux

I have zero issues reading any dark mode sites.

And this was never an issue before at the same brightness. Was only until I started using dark modes more that I've felt the difference become more apparent. It's way easier on my eyes and I think it looks better, too.

Either way, I'm not demanding it be universal, would just like it to be an option. I'm far from alone in preferring dark modes nowadays.

Dark mode is the future. Twitter in dark mode is infinitely better for your eyes and aesthetically.

There is a chrome extension called high contrast. The screen grab shown gives you an idea of what to expect and if it's suitable for your needs. It can be enabled and disabled as needed with a number of settings to select from.

Just gave it a try and it's a bit of a pain as it's set as default for every page I visit and I have to manually disable it every time if I dont want it.  I cant just have it off for everything and only tell it to activate for certain sites.  

 

Not quite the 'dark mode' I'd like anyways.  Good dark modes tend to use a dark grey rather than full black background.  

 

Thanks, though.

Skype has just had a full overhaul with a dark theme. It's fantastic.
