Night Mode Needed - People Love Dark Mode - Admin Wake Up

[The Sceptical Chymist]

Bitcointalk is not like other "popular" websites. Maybe it can't even be called popular, because ordinary users rarely come (or stay) here. Simply put, this forum is not as useful to everyone as YouTube or the like.

I would question why OP is even here if he didn't even take the time to browse through the first few pages of Meta, where he'd probably find that this discussion was recently had, and in which I posted (for probably the hundredth time) a variation of this:

Hey, whaddya know, another thread asking about a mobile-friendly version of bitcointalk!  What's it been, like a month since the last one?  It's probably only a few pages deep in Meta, OP.

OP, either deal with what you're given or suck it up and stop making noise.  You can argue about this until you're blue in the face....or just put on some goddamn sunglasses while you work your way up to joining a bounty.  Lots of luck to you.

If you can use mobile browser like Via, Phoenix or UC browser, they all have night mode.

Does anyone know any solutions for Tor on Android?

Check your phone settings, if there is something like 'Dark mode/theme' option, it's system wide and makes all apps follow dark mode.

I personally didn't like it [1]. Even tho, dark mode is supposed to less strain eyes, it does for me. I like light themes better.

Of course Bitcointalk forum needs two modes - light and dark.

Why do you think there is a need, you do not have a poll here to figure out if there is a request and a need, there are external sources recommended to to you for you to experiment.
It is either the admin changes the theme because the default theme that is being used here has little or no modification on the theme, although there are a lot of tutorials about tinkering with the CSS to implement a dark light mode switcher but I doubt the admin will bother to do it.

Dear OP, first of all, thanks for asking this question, because a few months back, I also faced an issue in reading in white theme so I thought I should look for a dark theme add-on. But I found only one famous extension ( Known as Dark-Readers) I hope you might have used it. Well, the thing is back then I found this extension not worth using, as it lacks some color schemes. Well, I just installed it again and I think If I will spend some time then I will get used to it.

You also might get used to it after spending some time. You must be wondering why I thanked you because I found this useful topic List of Bitcointalk.org Userscripts/ Add-ons / SMF patches shared by Hatchy

Dark mode is pretty fuckuped if you are colorblind.

I happen to have color blindness and I hate dark mode. Smaller the screen the harder it is to read.

According to studies, it is proved that males are in abundant who face color blindness than females. Maybe that's why OP is saying, BTT needs only two themes (Black and White) I think OP is female. Just saying in case. And few days back, my teacher told us that, almost every male has more colorblindness in compared to females. That's why females can detect a slight color difference between lipsticks and dresses while males fail to do so.

Bitcointalk forum needs dark mode. Many popular websites already have it, for example, youtube. People love dark mode, plus members can browse forum without straining their eyes.

Dear OP, You should search for related topics on Google or here on Bitcointalk's search engine. If you had done that, then you would have found many topics automatically. But since I think you are not a struggler and wanted to get answers to your question directly and quickly, you made this topic. If you have chosen this topic, then try to engage with it. As it is not a good factor to take part in the discussions.
I hope you will not mind my words. But you can easily find some good dark mod extensions or Chrome software on the web. On Google by simply searching for them. In my personal view, I like the current theme of Bitcointalk, and I hope that in the future the feature of dark mode will be added, but I hope that it will be optional.

I also love dark mode but only at night when I am reading, but while I making the post I don't like dark mode because it seems so odd and strange and it also slows the creation or editing of the post. That's why I prefer dark mode sometimes but not all the time.

Just try https://www.youtube.com/ in light mode, then switch to dark mode. Hope you will understand. Browser addons do not work well for webpage dark mode - colours, etc.

Unless I'm wrong, initially --and probably still-- the preference for dark mode instead of light mode is to reduce eye strain, as you've established on your very own opening post, as well as Cantsay here, as well as to reduce glare [flashbang, anyone?] when accessing apps and platforms during bed time when our eyes already adjusted to the dark of our room.

So, if your concern and needs are based on those two initial reason of dark-mode preferences, there is little to zero sense on arguing specifically designed dark mode by the web developers because it feels like "pro". I don't think most people here "love" dark mode for aesthetic reason. They simply doesn't like being blinded by the sudden burst of brightness. Simple as that.

I use the "default" light theme on my tablet and laptop [though I rarely access through my laptop] and have my android phone force set dark-mode that let me experience the forum as what depicted by libert19 because more likely than not, I won't access the forum through that tiny screen unless I really have to, meaning I only use them if I'm the road and didn't bring one of my tablets or laptop, or when I'm ready for bed and got notified for something interesting by the notifier. And that dark mode works just fine.
