A Dark Theme For The Site (Resolved)

So that we can provide faster and better support, this forum (the "Public Suggestion Box") has been retired. Instead, please send any suggestions you have to us using the official website contact form.

This allows us to streamline our support system so that we can get to your message much faster. Instead of our support staff having to check three different places (support forum, suggestion box, and contact form messages), they know can respond to all message through one method, with that one method being the official website contact form.

I can ask Scott to do that but, for reference, do you know of any website with a dark theme mode (where you can switch from normal to dark). I'm asking because I've only seen apps with this feature. I've never come across any websites with the same. If anyone knows of a website I can use for reference, it will help very much. Thank you.
Hey JM Reviews,

I support the idea of having a dark or light mode option for the OBC website. I know that the Facebook, Reddit, and Twitter websites all allow users to adjust the light and dark modes. As someone who has terrible sensitivity to light, I enjoy having the ability to adjust my interface to a darker setting. I hope this helps answer your inquiry. :tiphat:

I and some other members prefer a light theme, so maybe it is better if a member can choose which theme they want.
Thank you. I prefer this default theme too. I'll mention this to Scott.

Hello.

Thank you for this feedback.I've visited these websites and they sure have dark themes. I'll add this to the list so that the developers can consider it.

Good idea. It is good to have preferences in themes. Themes represent personality. When one work within a theme he or she feels connected. It increases productivity. I prefer dark themes.

Whenever I see a dark theme available for an app, I activate it right away, so yeah, it would be cool if we had it here too. There's a chrome browser extension (Night Eye) for having any website in a dark theme, and it's pretty cool.
