I love this Forum's Software - Thank you Bob!

No one's talking.

via PM, it's considered a hack and I'm awaiting approval from Bob plus the post didn't belong where I put it, but it seemed a reasonable post to answer the question "Is there a dark theme?"

The hack doesn't have anything to do with the website. It's the browser that is being hacked.

Agreed. And, I found a way to view in dark mode on my phone (using it now).

Install Kiwi browser app and then Dark Reader extension.

"Dark Reader" is an extension for chrome and Firefox so if Stylebot is considered hackery, try that instead. When I get to my desktop computer I'll give it a try.

How do you rotate pics when you upload them to a post? When I take a photo, usually with my phone in the vertical position, and try post it, it automatically flips it to landscape view. Any advice?

that was a phone screenshot and I was using the phone itself when viewing/posting, so I guess it doesn't rotate

Did you get the .zip file? If not I can email you if you want to PM me.

I did not. Right as I clicked on the .zip is when I discovered the thread was removed. I'll wait and see if it gets allowed to be reposted, if not I'll PM you!

Try the Dark Reader extension; it's working for me, although I think my code block changes are better.

I'll look into it, thanks!

Edit: Just installed it, that was easy

Here's a code block containing changes in Dark Reader for the site which makes these code blocks look better IMHO:

Inline code

CSS
code.bbCodeInline,
pre {
border: none !important;
border-radius: 0 !important;
box-shadow: none !important;
margin: 0.5em 0 !important;
outline: none !important;
padding: 0.5em !important;
}
[data-darkreader-scheme="dark"]
code.bbCodeInline,
pre {
color: ${#00cc00} !important;
}

And, here's what they look like on my phone after adding into Dark Reader:

 

[strobelight]

You can see these changes if you Synchronize sites fixes. (Dark Reader->Settings->Advanced->Synchronize sites fixes; Dev tools->Reset changes->Apply; then close popup)

OK, I finally got around to researching this.

One of the mods saw the word "hack" and understandable wanted approval from me first. (Good call)
Even if not malicious, there was some concern about breaking things.

Fortunately, it's a default option, just needs enabled in Xenforo. I've done that.

To use it, look for the little switch at the bottom of the forum page:

Choose dark and it goes dark.

To avoid problems, and having to reset things any time there's a major upgrade, I typically run the forum totally "stock".

But that's a simple customization that's built in, and can be activated with one click, so it's been enabled.

Time to click the setting: 2 seconds.
Time to find out how and where to change the setting? About 45 minutes.
