JLMoran Posted February 10, 2021 Report Share Posted February 10, 2021 @Matt, not sure if this is even something the site can offer, but any chance you could implement a Dark Mode visual display that users could select as an alternate to the current display? I use Dark Mode with everything on my computer, and have come to appreciate the reduction in eye strain it offers (especially at night). Put a poll as part of this topic to gauge general interest.

Matt Posted February 10, 2021 Report Share Posted February 10, 2021 It would have to be an option through the software developer. But if it were there, sure! Big Tule and JLMoran 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeWhoWaits Posted February 10, 2021 Report Share Posted February 10, 2021 I voted "no" because I would almost certainly never use it. However, it's a good option to have available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love it in dark mode, so much better for the eyes. This was a great suggestion by JLMoran, thanks JLMoran and Matt 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JLMoran Posted February 11, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2021 One oddity I see now that dark mode is available -- in both dark and light mode, there is a flash as the screen loads, and also an odd honeycomb graphic that cycles if it's a slow load. Is that flash something that's baked into these themes, or can that be selectively shut off? It's particularly jarring in dark mode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLMoran Posted February 11, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2021 Or as an alternative to shutting it off, is there a way to have the screen go solid black with a white honeycomb? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted February 11, 2021 Report Share Posted February 11, 2021 It's just part of the plugin. No control over it, unfortunately. JLMoran and WAAAYTOOO 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MuttMutt Posted February 11, 2021 Report Share Posted February 11, 2021 OMG been burning my retinas till now. Yeah the flash when loading kinda sucks but when I decide to browse a little when I can't sleep at least I don't feel like an image is being burned into the back of my skull. Now to add a dark theme for the main site as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I did see a comment on that product page about the transition issue; the plugin author said he uses a custom CSS loading transition on his own site to handle that. Not sure if he plans to roll that into an update to the product at some point, but I found a bunch of CSS in the custom.css file loaded in that site's <head> section referring to #loader ID. Guessing that's how to modify it, but not sure if that CSS file is editable at all. I may try making a custom CSS to use on this site that overrides those #loader selectors and see if that clears the issue with the white color while loading.

Atlantix2000 Posted February 11, 2021 Report Share Posted February 11, 2021 Took me awhile to understand the comments about the flash and hex thing. I guess I browse differently than most. I right click on the blue dots next to each thread I'm interested in reading and choose "open in a new tab" which opens all those threads to their first unread post. By the time I start clicking through the tabs, they are all loaded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you tried "middle click" (aka mouse wheel)? Unless you have a magic mouse or MAC in general, then you'll need a third party application, or command + click.

MuttMutt Posted February 12, 2021 Report Share Posted February 12, 2021 I open in a new tab as well on my desktop but on my tablet it's not the same. The white flash can be a bit of a pain then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
