Little thing here -- has anyone else wished this site had a "dark mode" theme?

[DennisM]

Just curious -- everything else I use (mostly) is in dark mode, and visiting this site is always a bit hard on the eyes

Actually wish the same thing, because when you have Dark Mode on and go to this site, my eyes also hurt

what like this you mean......

 

[DennisM]

did you find a secret setting somewhere ??

Just need the right Browser maybe. On my side I can see the side as Dark Mode. On Mobile Phone and also on my laptop.

Personally, I dislike dark mode.  Old eyes find it hard to read

Hey would you mind to share your settings? I use chrome in dark mode but not every webside is displayed in dark. Include FDM Forum....

Thanks in advance

I don't normally use Chrome. But I managed it relatively quickly with an extension (Dark Mode 0.4.8). On the Samsung phone I just use the global dark mode via the quick settings.

It´s strange, today dark mode extension on chrome works with fdm as it should... So for me no need for a dark theme.

Personally i use Opera as my browser and in the settings menu under "Appearance" then "Theme" is set to dark then the "Force dark theme on pages"  slider is set to active

Thanks for mentioning this. I think in the rush to embrace dark mode, a lot of designers missed that for many people (myself one of them) dark mode is actively painful. As in, I suffer a headache when I am forced to read code editors or web pages configured in dark mode. Here's a little more on it:

So great to hear that this website is available in both light and dark modes, so that everyone's eyes are in their best environment.
