Default Dark Theme?
Is HDF ever going to offer a dark theme? Browsing a forum with a bright white background at night before I finally fall asleep kinda sucks.

A dark theme would be a nice addition. When I've checked the User CP, I don't see any forum skins that are available besides the classic and mobile.

Thanks!

Yes please. I was just looking for a way to use a dark theme. Not sure why this isn't offered.

Put a filter over your screen, or dim it.

A filter? Haven't seen one of those since the 90s haha. A better solution is to offer a dark mode in the options, as do most forums.

LOL. Of the several online forums I frequent, this is literally the only one that doesn't have a dark theme.


This isn't a big ask.

I'll toss this up the chain of command. In the meantime, there are browser extensions you can use. This is the "Dark reader" extension using chrome.

If using Chrome, check:
chrome://flags/ (paste in addressbar)

If using Edge, check:
Edge://flags/ (paste in addressbar)

You're in "Erperiments" of Edge or Chrome now.

Search for "dark", you'll find "Auto Dark Mode for Web Contents". Enable it or try other options available.

It's free and it works.

Greetz,
