No we don't and we will never have.

It was first a light theme and after checking it again https://beta.bitcointalk.org/ , It seems like there is a dark theme too.
I'm not sure about the possibility to change between both of them but If there isn't an option to do that , I assume that the Dark theme will stay and the light one won't.

I was pushing for this very strongly a while ago. It looks so much better than the white and orange theme IMO! Do you agree with me?

Wangbus said that they would add this along with the functionality to switch between themes. I'm not sure whether that is still true since the dark theme is now default. They may have just saved time for now and went with the darker one.
Update:

<wangbus> switching is under way but not completely ready yet

I definitely agree , I was never a fan of light theme honestly.
Speaking about the development , I just noticed that the development is no longer active as It used to be (since a month now) : https://github.com/epochtalk/epochtalk/commits/master . In the other hand , I see that theymos added an announcement on the top of the page :

To be able to use the next phase of the beta forum software, please ensure that your email address is correct/functional.

He added it after I made this topic https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1680473.0 or does it mean that the software should be ready soon ?

You're only looking at part of the image, take a look at: https://github.com/epochtalk (recent commits in several repositories).

There should be an initial transitioning period soon, correct.

I agree with lauda but i think many people or members here still want to stay in old forum theme..
Or i think it is better that we have night version too for those who wants for night version. and for normal theme they can stay here..

I already download plugins in chrome in chrome web store here the link https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/deluminate/iebboopaeangfpceklajfohhbpkkfiaa
And works fine for me for temporary..

I'd be a huge supporter of any sort of dark theme. I'm always using bitcointalk on my phone and it gets way too bright at night. Switching between light and dark would be nice but dark is a must this day and age!

Speaking about that, it would be great to have application for phones/tablets.
I use browser on my android but it's still isn't as comfortable as would be the app be

If I am correct, couldn't you use greasemonkey to make your own theme colors?

Yes, you can. Here's a thread discussing this: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1269619

That dark theme is horrible, and I don't like the new layout. I'm another one who votes to be able to go back to the light blue and white of the current theme once I sign up.

A dark layout was more desirable from the people that I've questioned, and it's easier on the eyes (regardless of whether you're using it somewhere where you have backlight or don't). There is no way to satisfy everyone, thus the forum will let you personalize it by choosing the theme that you want.

Well thanks for thart clarification Lauda. Am I the only one that likes the nice clean lines of the current board?  I probably keep the screen brightness fairly low, but as I seem to spend most of my time on a notebook, that's good for battery life.

I was completely against the previous theme on the new forum (white with some orange text IIRC). Migration to it will most likely be 'unappealing' for a fair number of users. This is because we are *too used* to this version of SMF. However, considering all the added features, it will be worth it.

Most modern web-browsers has a night mode IIRC - what browser are you using?

if your using a google chrome browser on your laptop or pc you can always install and use this add on for chrome

ive been using that for a quite some time when i feel pain in my eye because ive been always  online in the forum oftenly.

I can't read in night mode (on beta), because of my bad eyes. Hope it will be still possible to choose also the current version with light theme and good contrasts.I don't know any successful site with only night mode.

At night, I'm using UC browser on my mobile that has night mode. So I'm comfortable staying in the forum at night while I'm lying on my bed.
