Announcement Forum Dark Theme Beta

[Archeia]

Hi everyone! We now have a Dark Theme for the forums!

Here's how you can activate it.

• Scroll all the way down to the end of the page.
• Go to the lower left and you'll see Style Chooser. By default it just says RPG Maker Web Forum.
• Click on it and press Dark Theme.

This is experimental and there will be bugs. So just post all your issues here so we can fix them immediately!

Excellent! It looks awesome and will definitely help those of us with garbage-tier eyesight (AKA me).

nice but too much burn black.
may be lighter black shader.

#323232 or #282828 for the background pure black

here sample but without black burn , it is true that the people have different gamma and screen parameter, but the black are too much burn and pure for my gamma tv.
and message box tools are just illisible and can see icon

Reporting bug: I cannot see what I'm typing in status comments.

One of the downsides for Dark Theme is how it affects our cute kaomojis

 

[Ossra]

@Archeia Toss in a white background along with rounded razzle-dazzle?

​

Eeh, nevermind that. D;

Having a whole second set of dark theme emotes to maintain would be negative fun, I would imagine ...

 

[Jonforum]

there is ideally the excellent plugin. userstyles
you can simply change somes forum CSS code to have the desired color and have the desired theme.
I had already try it, it works very well provided that the forum does not use too much tag {!important}

Oh, the dark theme looks really good. But the white text color seems a bit too bright for me, it hurts my eyes.

 

[kaine]

looks great!

 

[SOC]

Thank you! It looks so much better!

 

[Rukiri]

Eh, poor color choices...
The BG, and bounding bg are too close to each other even if a different color. The contrast clashes...

Still a step in the right direction tho

I'm loving having a dark theme, especially with my migraine problem. Thanks for doing it. The only problem I've run into so far was the moderation queue. The text background is a black/white gradient making a lot of the text illegible.

Yeah, that's going to require editing all the kaomojis and reupping them too

@Sharm oh snap, that is one funky menu, we'll have to check that.

@Archeia It's the same for the red messages on a post that say it's waiting for approval.

I completely agree with @Jonforum . This dark theme is a great idea, but would be much more visually comfortable if it used more medium grays, rather than this extremely high contrast.

there are pallet ranges that are supposed to be compatible with all screens.
the web designing can be complex at times.

I learned some years ago that some color was universal for all the monitor and other not. even though it was very pretty, these a matter of code selection.
especially the black that affects the gammas and contrast.
#000000 is a bad choice

Yeah not all monitor are the same. Cases like the Apple product which most monitor/screen on their products have more display color then a average PC monitor they even advertise it as such like the retina display heck there is actually information of what kind of color gamut set a monitor have from the Adobe eRGB, sRGB, NTSC the most common set of the color gamut used in monitors while there is more color gamut in the world there is no fixed gamut that each monitor could have and can affect from manufacturing to how much time you use the device.
