    I decided to join Overland Bound forum today, and the forum engine (proper term?) seems the same as TW. It's extremely similar in many aspects, but has one feature I love. You can choose between three different themes, and one is a dark one. Makes is A LOT easier on the eyes for extended TW useage.

    With a chrome/firefox extension like greasemonkey, you can style any site however you want. Maybe this weekend, i will work on a dark theme for TW that could be used via a browser plugin.

    I'll have to investigate this. Unfortunately most of my TW time is at work (I know I know) on my 12 hour shifts, and we can't add extensions here.

    I'm not even on NMCI :bananadead: Which is great for me, because for the longest time TW didn't work on NMCI.

    I remember when that happened. That was such a glorious day. Too bad IE is the go-to for all the Navy sites for some reason.

    I like it!! For a rough draft, it's really good. I think @tcBob should implement something like this for sure.

    The user stylesheet i made is basically a copy/paste from the overland site, with additional tweaks. Im sure its WAY bloated with tons of unnecessary styles, but i didnt want to start from scratch if it wasnt going to work.

    Additionally, it requires the current site stylesheet for many items, and then adjusts accordingly. If adding a dark theme to the forum via an actual theme, i would recommend finding and actual xenforo theme, not leveraging the user styles i hacked together in a couple hours... just saying

    Maybe something like this https://brivium.com/resources/titanium.158/

    I agree. It would be WAY nicer to have a dark theme. I miss this on a supra forum i was on for years.

    My eyes get super tired looking at the white screen.

    Plus an "offical" dark skin could be used on phone browsers as well.

    Please Bob! My eyes hurt :pout:

    @tcBob

    :p

    seriously though. Great idea.
