Dark Theme

Is there a dark theme for the site? The white is killing my eyes.

This is certainly something we can consider for the not so distant future.

We're also working on how we may be able to improve the current theme.

Good to hear, readability as others has mentioned has gone down quite a bit since the change. Might have been nice to have had a preview before a mass switch over. Good luck !

Try this as a starting point, Majerus:

/* Dark theme */

a:link, a:visited {
    color: lightgray !important;
}

.bbCodeBlock .type {
    color: lightgray !important;
    background-color: maroon !important;
}

.bbCodeQuote .quoteContainer {
    background-color: black !important;
}

body {
    background-color: black !important;
    color: lightgray !important;
}

body .muted, body a.muted, body .muted a {
    color: lightgray !important;
}

.breadcrumb .crust a.crumb {
    color: lightgray !important;
}

.breadcrumb .crust .arrow {
    color: lightgray !important;
}

.breadcrumb .jumpMenuTrigger {
    color: lightgray !important;
}

.message .messageDetails .postNumber {
    color: lightgray !important;
}

.message .messageMeta .control {
    color: lightgray !important;
}
.message .signature {
    color: lightgray !important;
}

.messageList .message {
    background-color: black !important;
}

.messageUserBlock a.username {
    color: lightgray !important;
}

.messageUserBlock .userTitle {
    color: lightgray !important;
}

.messageUserInfo {
    background-color: black !important;
}

#pageDescription {
    color: lightgray !important;
}

.PageNav a {
    color: lightgray !important;
}

.pairs dt, .pairsInline dt, .pairsRows dt, .pairsColumns dt, .pairsJustified dt {
    color: lightgray !important;
}

Thanks @brianman for all the proposed tweaks

When I get a moment, I'm gonna work on developing a dark them which I'm sure will be appreciated by those who like to read in the dark.

No worries. Happy to help with the transition.

Thanks for that. My preference is for a pitch black background whenever possible. I suspect that would not be a majority choice, but it would be great if that were an option.
