Dark theme?

How easy is it to add a dark theme for the forum similar to Monzo?

Is it just a config option in the forum software?

So much better for my eyes :eyes: at night :+1:

Had a look in preferences but I don’t have a theme option there either.

Got it now. For me it’s in preferences > account > interface > theme.

Think I prefer Monzo’s approach where it’s at the top level - not sure if they had to do anything special to get it there though.

Maybe discourse will give an option that reflects the iOS setting at some point so we don’t have to faff about like this :wink:

Can we get one for the app too @nick :wink:

We’ll do it; requires a custom plugin though (and thus a server restart…).

One day :sweat_smile: I do love a dark theme…

Can’t get your l33t h4x done without a dark theme. :yum:

Turns out the plugin I enabled for this disabled itself for some reason; I’ll get it setup again tonight :frowning:

No, that is true… I’ll have it done by the end of June. The groundwork’s laid in-app; it’s a matter of combing through everything to adjust the colours. I’ll make sure it looks l33t. :grin:

Surely something like this would work as well right? (I have OCD about people returning booleans explicitly :joy:):

100%! That would give me nightmares :joy: wanted to be explicit and make it as English as possible…
