Dark mode

[FlyFrog]

I think Dark mode would let more people enjoy this site more, i personally perfer using the site during the day bc of the strain pn my eyes

Hey there. I will ask the site owner/admin if there is an option in the background that can be enable to give you the choice.

 

[Rat]

Still no dark mode

 

[landuse]

Nope. No dark mode yet. Please all work under the assumption that it isn't going to happen soon. Robert is hard to get hold of

 

[Country Boy]

I’d like a dark mode.

Again. Please work under the assumption that this isn't going to happen soon

I think it's a Darth Vader thing
...ya know like...welcome to the dark side

Maybe Google it...

You know, I think I remember when that was an attempted thing, back in the day. The moderators had to go to war. I was on their side, and I can tell you it was only entertaining for maybe an hour out of over a months worth of time. If someone isn't willing to be themselves, up front and honest, polite, curtious and absolutely non political, then they need to go somewhere else. This site is about recreational toys, the simpler the better, for people who aren't rolling in mountains of money. It's also supposed to be a site to help teach people. I stand by that; I don't know everything, but if I can help, I will!!!

I vote NO on Dark Mode. If you want dark mode, put on sunglasses indoors at night. If your eyes are sore now, be glad you didn’t see Doug Topless is all of his full brightness white mode.

spend some time outside until your back hurts then you’re eyes will feel fine in comparison.

Why do you keep bringing top less doug up? I'm trying to forget.

 

[milesguy81]

Guys I made a dark mode thing

 

[Whitetrashrocker]

Yay. Now i can finally sleep at night.

Mine eyes have seen the glory of the toplessness of Doug;
He is trampling out the ruts where the tires of wrath have dug;
He hath loosed his fateful thunderous farts right into his rug;
All with no clothes on.

It's just easier to turn the brightness down. Robert must be incredibly busy. Remember when he would pop on here at least once a week or more.

XenForo has dark mode capability. Thanks guys for necroposting this old thread.

Keep the dream alive!

I am here to beat the drum again. I have a dark or dark-color mode enabled on everything I view now (even YouTube and Wokipedia) but here I don't have the option. I have to admit, on a large screen, viewing DIYGK can be somewhat painful and retina-burning on standard brightness levels. I prefer the better contrast of a dark theme as well. Other XenForo forums have it and it should be an easy task for an Admin.

Attached two examples from the same website. Is it maybe not an option on DIYGK because the other site says "Community platform" and not "Forum Software" like ours? I am assuming there's a difference.



A dark blue and orange theme would be super to reflect the colors we already have.

 

[Grizzlymi]

Haha! Everything I have is in dark mode. This is the only site that isn't and I would LOVE dark mode, either one!!!

 

[Kartorbust]

One forum I'm on that uses XenForo did add on the dark mode, and it was weird. Could be because its normally in beige.

It should always be optional or user-selectable. Original for the purists who cannot handle change, and some dark color/white text options for the rest of us. The user-selectable click options are in the lower left on my two examples.
