⚫ USMB Dark Skin/Style Available for testing.

Which also means I have better night vision than most.

Actually, night vision depends on maximum pupil dilation in the dark, amount of visual purple developed in the scotopic retina, and the number of rods existing around the fovea.

Sounds almost pornographic!

A lot of our members have asked for a darker skin. I've made one available. This skin however may have bugs, it is in testing mode. I will not be taking requests to change little things on this skin as I just don't have the time to maintain 3 different skins for the site.

If something is genuinely broken, I'll try my best to fix it. But if you want some tiny little thing tweaked, etc... not going to happen.

You can test it by selecting USMB Dark from the style selector or in the User CP here: https://www.usmessageboard.com/account/preferences

Nailed it with the blue skin.

Looks like dark skin is in old format.

It shows up for me on desktop in the dark mode, but doesn't on mobile. Weird.

I am using a mobile.

Still like the dark though.

Thanks.

I do like the dark, but the annoying signature lines are back to their original size, and I was really liking them when they were shrunk down, so I'm switching back.

You can disable the signatures entirely in your User CP. I do.

There was a time when sigs were cool.

And then along came ding.

I think there should be some rules on signature size, but I don't want to derail this thread, only suggest you do the same with the signatures in dark mode as you have done in this new (Edge?) skin.

The Dark Mode/Light Mode switcher now works properly. It will switch between USMB Ryzer (Light) and USMB Dark.

You can disable signatures entirely in your User CP. That way you don't have to see anyone's signature. I added a little hack to the other skin to make the sig sizes limited. I'm not going through the effort to do that hack on these 3 skins as it may break them in unintended ways.

It looks like the Dark Skin just disappeared today...

This is what you get at the Style chooser at the bottom of every page...

And this is what you get from the preferences page...

Is it just me?

Thanks,
Jim

 

[Zincwarrior]

Same. I like the darker version.

Yes, that one and all the Novus are gone forever. I will work on a new dark skin here in a bit.

Thank you very much. I appreciate it.

I use dark mode in my browser, but the USMB board appears with a bright background and it is a little rough on my eyes, comparatively.

I suppose for some people, blue light near bedtime can also make it difficult to fall asleep.

Try it out now.

 

[Jim H - VA USA]

Try it out now.

Thanks. I would prefer a higher contrast font. Screenshot...

 

[WorldWatcher]

Try it out now.

Seems a little darker than before (Both background and font).

Bump both a tad?

I've updated the font size and color.

I've updated the font size and color.

Better. I would still prefer brighter, closer to the "Attached files" button below....

But that's just me. Thanks again!
