I’ve lost track of how many posts I’ve lost just by forgetting to hit the post button. Thankfully, with the automatic save feature, that’s no longer a problem.

The variety of tools available makes writing a post a breeze, and my favorite has to be the undo feature.

This Forum's Rich‑text editor is fantastic! Thank you, Bob!
 


Use stylebot browser extension to make something like this.

Now if we just had a dark theme.

I "dabble" in web/css too and I use Stylebot browser extension to make tweaks as seen in previous post. Bottom line, I'm sure I missed a few element color changes. It won't be easy to make a change like this from what I've seen using the browser dev tool; colors are hardcoded. Newer css has functions to choose light dark, calculate colors for borders, backgrounds and such based on a chosen base color.

For grins, I used https://kinetools.com/css-light-mode-to-dark-mode-converter/#gsc.tab=0 to convert all the css to dark mode, and pasted the resulting css into Stylebot, but the result was too dark and really not usable.

If bob wants to upgrade the css, https://css-tricks.com/come-to-the-light-dark-side/ was an interesting read.

In any event if you want to try Stylebot extension, here's what I use for the website:

div.message-cell.message-cell--main {
background-color: #010101;
color: #00cc00;
}

div.message-cell.message-cell--user {
background-color: #0404;
}

div.p-body-inner {
background-color: #0303;
}

div.message-editorWrapper {
background-color: #0e3e1c;
}

div.fr-element.fr-view.fr-element-scroll-visible {
background-color: #0303;
}

div.fr-toolbar.fr-ltr.fr-desktop.fr-top.fr-basic {
background-color: #0505;
}

div.block-container {
background-color: #000;
}

blockquote.bbCodeBlock.bbCodeBlock--expandable.bbCodeBlock--quote.js-expandWatch.is-expandable {
background-color: #555;
}

blockquote.bbCodeBlock.bbCodeBlock--expandable.bbCodeBlock--quote.js-expandWatch {
background-color: #555;
}

div.bbCodeBlock-title {
background-color: #444;
}

div.reactionsBar.js-reactionsList.is-active {
background-color: #444;
}
 
Is that extension global or can it be directed at one URL only?

The rest of the sites I visit already have a dark mode so it need not be applied to other sites.
 
Since I did a quote, I now have to tweak again (yes, using stylebot is a work in progress while new views show up). Here's my additions:

code.bbCodeInline {
background-color: #555;
color: #8bf9ed;
}
div.bbCodeBlock-expandContent.js-expandContent {
background-color: #555;
}
div.bbCodeBlock-content {
background-color: #555;
}
div div code {
background-color: #ccc;
}
 


Someone had asked bout 'Why?' and I was explaining that because all of my other sites I visit are dark-themed, when I come back to this forum my eyeballs want to explode as my pupils collapse. Especially in the evenings when the room lights are dimmer.

It doesn't bother me so much in daylight.

Thanks for the dark theme. I don't know why this website never offered it.
