REQUEST: Forum background and text font color
Re: REQUEST: Forum background and text font color
Do you want to change the overall look of TDF?
Do you know the small brush icon on the top right below "Unread posts"? And the lamp beside it? That allows at least a little variety.

Re: REQUEST: Forum background and text font color
hey Tsall Something similar to dark (or reverse) mode. Black background and white (or colored) text. Those forum areas currently beeing unaffected from "color swatch" (that small brush that you mentioned, top right corner) Either a global "dark/color mode" switch for forum users or just the area a user does his/her posting in.
That mainly for 2 reasons:
1. All the white background is straining the eyes (mine are suffering at least)
2. Better and more colorful design options for the creative forum users.
Random example from elsewhere:
Re: REQUEST: Forum background and text font color
Many months ago I tried to invert all colors in this theme. But it isn't just that. All icons and images need to be adjusted. And even worse, people make posts with different colors. Those need to be adjusted too or a dark red that is clearly visible on light background will be hardly readable on a dark background. This forum software has no support for altering colors on the fly in such a case.
An option to freely choose the background is even worse than offering a dark mode. It can happen that someone uses a background color that someone else uses to post. And bamm, nothing is readable.
In addition I have my doubts that this can be implemented easily.
So I'm very sorry, but this request is highly unlikely to ever get implemented.

Yeah, I understand the issues although I know very little on forum design, codes and such. Just things I´ve seen in other forums the past 25 years or so. I always thought those things are beeing set in browser by end user. So if the end user can set and fix these things it should be fine? Say if I like a black background for a posting containing pics, then I set and fix this with the posting. Any reader won´t be able changing that to something else again. Would at least help my eyes when doing my own stuff. So if any of that is doable, why not make a global forum poll on things like that? But otherwise, I´m likely not getting blind from all the white here. But limits my forum time.

Might be an idea, thanks. I´m using FF and there´s always lots of stuff for it. Thanks for answering!
