A dark theme is now available

[Meadow]

For night reading, or if you just don't like orange very much, you can now use the dark theme, available under your Preferences:



Please give feedback here.

Working well on Android for me, and hyperlinks certainly show up more clearly, as does bolding

It looks a bit "SLP Incognito Mode" doesn't it. "For when viewing guilty pleasure ASB threads", maybe.

I must admit I am in favour of darker backgrounds in general. Easier on the eye and the battery. Looks good so far.

 

[Von Callay]

That is much softer on the eyes, yes. Thank you.

 

[Dom]

I think I prefer the Default Style, but nice work!

Maybe I just hate change.

 

[Usili]

It is quite softer on the eyes. Thank you very much for putting in the dark theme Meadow!

The Dark theme is quite a bit easier on my poor old eyes. Thank you!

Thank god. I use this at night, and it’s like being a rabbit in headlights turning the iPad back on, cheers!

I enjoyed doing the Fast Show bit for Partying Like It's 1999 so much that I am half tempted to write a whole AH-themed Fast Show episode at some point. Though it would take a while to come up with material.

I didn't realise you put a lot of work into it so sorry for being rude earlier. I do find it a little hard to read the text on the default - it looks a little condensed. But the contrast with the orange and dark grey on the dark theme is kinda offputting as well. Then again I have glaucoma so my opinion is obviously based off that.

I've just slightly increased the gap between lines of text. I want this place as accessible as possible (though custom browser extensions will probably always do a better job for people with disabilities than a one-size-fits-all theme). Has that helped?

It has, yes, thanks.

also i misread this as 'a dank theme' and i momentarily became excited

I view it more as a "SealionHub" color scheme. For the same reasons.

That said, I love it, it's what I'm going to use. Thanks for the work of making it Tom.

Looks really good, Meadow, and far easier on the eyes after 2200 or so.

I've heard of future-proofing, but that's ridiculous.

@Meadow I have just noticed that (at least on the desktop under Chrome), that when using the top menus (forums, What's new, Members), the "selection" under the mouse goes completely black (so I cant actually read which option I am trying to select). Is this intended?
