Site theme - dark mode

[Hus]

Hi Nath, 

Hope all is well - didn't want to start a new thread, was wondering if it would be possible to add a dark theme?

No worries if its a hassle - thought it would be beneficial for late night surfing etc.

Cheers

It's possible, yes.

Will it happen? Probably not, depends on my time availability.

No worries :), was hoping it might be a quick addition.

It's not quick.

Do I make a new theme, and then spend time figuring out what colours to change and where?

Or do I code something that works regardless of the theme? And then how do i decide what changes?

I'll take a look when I have time, see what I can do.

Thanks, really appreciate all the time and effort you put into the site, if it's a pain don't worry.

The developers of the software are already working on implementing this functionality themselves, so I won't be looking into further until they make it available.

Splitting this one out from the other topic.

Still no sign of this from the software developers so am going to take a look into doing something myself.

@Nathan Explosion any update on this? Would echo Hus's comments - if it was a fairly easy fix (or developers already offered it) then it would be great but if it's a nightmare to do then don't worry about it. Cheers

Was going to ask the question, but this chrome extension works like a charm

And 3 years later they have finally implemented in v5.0 of their software, which is currently in beta testing on their side - it won't be installed on this site until at least a v5.1 release.
