Night-mode

Hey Devs,

For those of us who like to stalk this forum in the late hours of night or the early hours of morning, a night-mode which turns the white background to black would be an absolute godsend.
Perhaps it is something to consider.

Regards,

Tzeentch

There are apps for that.

Reply to Valentinus I've tried some, but I did not find them very satisfying. YouTube has one built in which is very pleasant, though. Do you have any that you'd recommend?

Reply to Terrapin Station I would strongly recommend against directly looking at a computer screen while wearing one of those. :wink:

I just use the Windows "Magnifier" that came with the PC unit. It is not perfect but does okay for me. I haven't tried the others I see being marketed.

Looks pretty effective but I understand the EULA for that can kill you.

The problem is primarily with brightness, though. Not magnification.

The thing has an option for reversing colors. I found it by accident.

Reduce the brightness of your screen? Cover the screen with waxed paper? Go to bed instead of staying up all night to haunt the empty crypts of the damned?

Reply to Tzeentch The options for customization are very limited, and it's only customizable in admin, not by regular members. I can't change the colour of the main content background, so we're stuck with white.

Best you could do is install an extension like this for Chrome or this for Firefox.

I can make the stylesheet to use if there's any interest.

Here's a rough example. Any suggestions from people who are actually good at design principles/colour schemes let me know.
