This is beautiful and I wish I could use it on my iOS stuff too.

I noticed the Search box and some stuff on profile pages aren't dark-ified yet, though.

The purple has way too much contrast on that dark background, I know its the logo but something more subtle would work better, I think?

Thanks this is so much better on the eyes that the bright red base layout :)

This is excellent stuff! Very appreciated but I would like to suggest that we use a purple that has a lower contrast to the black background. I am finding the contrast a bit harsh.

Awesome, thank you for that.
If it was possible, maybe a Chrome extension.... although I don't know how those work, maybe it's too complex.
Anyway just an idea.
Again, thank you!

Thought I'd share this, something I've been working on since the forum went up, because I noticed a lot of people were asking for it

It's a dark theme for resetera! It's pretty WIP but I think it looks nice. To use it you need to install Stylish or Stylus and then install the style from the link above.

Mods, sorry if this isn't allowed!
This is fantastic. thank you

I was tossing up a few diff shades but ended up going with the logo color. Gotta stay on brand!!!!!!!!!! I might darken it if I can find something I like

Thanks for this- I'll have to go in there and fix it up.

It's cool, and much better than the light theme, but I REALLY feel that the dark theme should be Genesis/Mega Drive themed. Y'know, just to drive the wedge between LightEra and DarkEra further.

Great alternative until something official comes along - nice work!

Now that's some sexy stuff. The purple could stand to be ever so slightly darker, but otherwise I hope this is what the official one looks like.

really nice design.

I am just curious if an even more muted color tone would elevate it into a GOAT theme. Perhaps instead of the bright purple banner boxes they could be grey like the FAQ/Twitter/TOU box is but with purple text.
