I could keep on tweaking this thing all day and guaranteed there will be people unhappy

I can appreciate that.

Could I just point out one more thing.

The "notifications" background color used to be red. With the new dark mode (which I thank you very much for restoring) could we get that back to red to "pop" and draw the eye?

(The same blue color is used for the Bell Icon.)

It's going to be one more thing, one more thing, one more thing, a thousand times. I'll get it changed.

You could use this as a fundraising scheme. Screw things up, and then ask for donations to get it back.

Ten bucks for a higher-contrast font.

Appreciate it, there are a number of folks, like myself who are sensitive to bright lights.
This makes it way-way more comfortable.

Thanks for restoring the dark mode, MUCH easier on the eyes.

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,

Yeah.
Mine went white today.

It's actually kind of shockingly bright. The dark was so much easier on my old eyes.

 

[petro]

Got my dark back. Much better but definitely different. Font could be a little brighter.

imo

This is the best dark mode yet. I stopped using my script as this is better.

Thanks.

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

I think it should only be used in the IM2 Whitey is racist forum

1 More thing! I brightened it up.

 

[WorldWatcher]

Just curious…

What happened to the old dark mode?

Noticed also that the new dark has the page selection at top and bottom of page.

New upgrade...

A new look and a Brand New spankin' USMB!!
Smells like fresh paint.

 

[DudleySmith]

Trying the new 'dark mode'. Easier on the eyes and much better than the black one was.

 

[Road Runner]

Loving it!!

Actually one more thing LOL as sorry I had to go there but the lightbulb at the top is confusing me because I keep thinking that's my notification icon and I see that you have an option to change the style at the bottom of the screen. I could get use to it though but I was just curious why it's up there if there's already an option at the bottom to change it?

 

[Oddball]

Had dark mode for quite awhile, using the Dark Reader add-on.

 

[Dogmaphobe]

Can I have some dark skin, please


I have long wondered what it was like to experience privilege.

The lightbulb will switch you between the light skin and the dark skin. If you are on dark, it'll go light. If you are on light, it'll go dark. Just like a lightbulb in your house. It's easier and doesn't require a scroll down but only allows you to select between those 2. The style chooser lets you select between any... even though now there are only 4 options. The lightbulb only works on the "new" styles.... the old V2 style doesn't have that option.
