Dark mode is too stronk, especially on mobile phones.
The background is too dark (it's literally black) and the the text is too close to white.
Notes:
- This is most painful on mobile phones, where screen brightness is sort of set for consumption of media, not for productivity and long reading.
- For dark color schemas that are moderate, very successful implementations of dark mode are in Apple iPhone "Reader mode" and Apollo:
Here is a good suggested setting (from Apple reader):
Adding flavors of dark mode seems good.
- Solving this by brightening the background somewhat, will help with the issue that many graphs/graphics are white and really pop out of a black background.
Moderator comments behave weirdly in dark mode
This (and your other comment about tables in posts) should now be fixed - thanks for letting us know!
If possible, an easier way to change between dark/light mode, like a switch on the top right menu, would be great.
Can I ask what use case you have for this? Are you switching it multiple times a day (like with sunrise-sunset? If so, can I ask what operating system you're using?
I’d switch depending on the time of day, device I’m using (phone or computer), and lighting situation, as I read the forum a lot on the go. I use Chrome and Firefox.
On Mac, Windows, Android, iOS?
Windows and iOS. (I now realize you asked for the OS and I read browser , sorry)
Mac, Android and iOS already have a version of dark mode that changes on the time of day. You can then set your EA Forum them to "Auto" and forget it. Unfortunately, windows doesn't have such a mode, but you might find this does the job.
I'd be curious for more info about your non-time of day lighting desires, but would need to hear of more examples of this before devoting such prime real estate to something that right now I'm modeling as pretty niche.
Some situations in which I appreciate light/dark switches in general:
But I know your time is quite valuable and I don't have a good sense of how effortful it'd be to implement this, so take this suggestion as something I'd consider nice-to-have but have absolutely no strong feelings about it.
