Scroll-N-Skydiver Posted January 22, 2023 Report Share Posted January 22, 2023 Hello, I am new here. I have an eye condition that makes white backgrounds a challenge to read. Is there a site setting that I can change somewhere for a dark theme on this website? Thanks in advance! Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meflick Posted January 23, 2023 Report Share Posted January 23, 2023 (edited) Let’s see if we can get our esteemed leader @Travis ‘s attention and see if he can supply a quick answer as I am not aware of a way but I will look around and see if I can figure out while we wait to hear from him or someone else who may know. Also, quick question what device are you using to view the Village forums on? Computer, IPad or other tablet device, phone? If you can’t make setting on Village, you may be able to adjust a setting on your device you are viewing from.

Travis Posted January 23, 2023 Report Share Posted January 23, 2023 I went ahead and created a dark theme for you. If you go to the bottom of the screen, click Theme and choose Dark. Anybody can use this theme. I just have to make sure all of the settings are the same between the two themes. I think I got them, but I guess time will tell. Let me know if something isn't behaving the way it should. Fab4, Scroll-N-Skydiver and meflick 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Posted January 23, 2023 Report Share Posted January 23, 2023 I'll be calling it Halloween mode. Spooky! Well, OK, Casper and Wendy aren't spooky, but I'll still call it Halloween mode. Jim McDonald, Gene Howe and meflick 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scroll-N-Skydiver Posted January 24, 2023 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2023 Travis, on the Groups page. The What are Groups box is still white. Guessing it's got some lingering CSS that references the old theme or is static. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Travis Posted January 24, 2023 Report Share Posted January 24, 2023 I got the groups page fixed. The carousal are screen shot images of groups....so those will remain white.. I'll keep an eye out for other items that are not looking right. Scroll-N-Skydiver 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scroll-N-Skydiver Posted January 25, 2023 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2023 I'm on a Mac as well. I'm using Chrome, what browser are you using? Maybe that's the culprit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried it on your account and things seemed to work OK. I also tried it on the Mac. Can you show me a screenshot of what you're seeing when you try to switch themes?

Scrappile Posted January 25, 2023 Report Share Posted January 25, 2023 Struck me as funny, I tried the black and it made me feel almost claustrophobic. Had to switch back. Worked on my mac just fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing that says "Dark Theme Mode?" is the title of this forum thread. What you're looking for is below the social media icons at the bottom of the screen. There is a line that says Theme, Privacy Policy, User Guidelines, Staff, Contact Us. Click the Themes. A pulldown will appear and will show 2 options. One called Default Theme, and another called Dark Theme. Choose Dark Theme to change to dark mode. Let me know if that doesn't work for you.
