Any of you want a dark mode forum theme?

Ok the dark theme should work now. I removed the "override user default setting" for board themes so your board theme preferences should work now.

Wow check out this dark theme with stars in the background for phpbb. Isn't it so rad? Doesn't it feel like being in outer space or in a planetarium? lol. Doesn't it look so rad? lol.

@Yohan and @Neo what do you think?

Should we make the dark mode theme the default theme? Does it make a better impression because its easier on the eyes? Especially at night?

Or should the prosilver blue theme be the default theme rather than the basic theme?

Just to let you guys know, if any of you prefer a dark or black forum theme, I've installed two of them. You can choose them from your UCP panel. Here is what they look like:

Yes, I usually darken all screens if I can. I don't want to stare into a light bulb. Early web pages had gray backgrounds. I really could not understand why Windows chose themes nearly as bright as light bulbs when Windows 95 came out or why they got rid of the ability to control background colors for the most part after XP.

@MrMan I've changed the default theme to Elegance, which has a light gray background. Check it out. What do you think?

Is it easier on your eyes? You can set it as your default in your UCP board preferences if you like it.

It is still uncomfortable. I had the screen on a dark background, which was nice, before clicking that.
