Dark Mode for AM forums?

[Roger]

Does anyone happen to know if there is a "dark mode" for the AM forums?   The bright white can be overpowering sometimes.

It is possible for the mods to make alternate themes with modified colors but the control panel has a zillion color chips that need to be set.

Alternatively, a browser extension, like "Dark Reader" for FireFox or Chrome, will create what you want.

Edge also, has browser settings to change the web page presentation.

Depends on what browser you are using?

Thanks, I'll look into that, that might give me what I need.

Currently using Edge, I'll have to look for the setting.  I know I found it in Chrome at one point (no longer on my system).

In Edge (win11) Settings>Appearance

then "Page colors" select from the drop down (Dusk, Dessert, ...)

then  Page colors - set slider to left (OFF ???) for "Only apply page colors when high contrast themes are on"

I use "Dusk"

Thanks!  I'll give that a try.

The software we use got the forums is about to have a major version release. From what I'm reading 'Themes' will not move over in the update. But dark mode and a few other themes I need to look into this but dark mode is something I really want too.

Right now, we are limited in the themes we can use because many of them are hard coded to hash.com so much editing will need to be done

F.Y.I. - had to stop using the Edge (browser feature) for Page Color,  as it affected ALL web pages. Now I am using the "Dark Reader" Extension for EDGE. so far, so good. It allows for individual settings per site.

That is cool, but when I was try to fix the default template for the forums I saw some cool themes I just did not want to get them if I have buy again when I have to move to 5.0

I will wait until the forum transition is complete

I'm using Dark Reader with Firefox right now and it works fine for the Forum pages. Inverts the colors and saves my eyes.
