Parabola Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 The light theme seems to have disappeared? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parabola Posted January 8 Author Share Posted January 8 Without wishing to be 'that guy' I hope this is being looked into? I'd like to join in the current excitement but I can't comfortably use this website without the light theme (white text on a dark background is a headache trigger). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
City Council Cipher Posted January 8 City Council Share Posted January 8 Hey @Parabola, We retired the light theme last week after looking at the usage stats for it and weighing it against the overhead of maintaining it. Rather than bringing the light theme back, we'd like to investigate ways to improve our current theme so that this isn't an issue for you or other users. Do you have any suggestions on changes we can make to help here? Cipher City Council If you need help, please submit a support request here or use /petition in-game. Got time to spare?

Do you have any suggestions on changes we can make to help here? Hey @Cipher, It's basically as I say, white text on a dark background is headache fuel. Googling it people talk about a blurring effect called halation, and also that it's particularly bad if you have astigmatism which fits as I do in one eye. Unfortunately I also get migraines and this is a definite trigger. Sadly I don't know of anything that helps other than rendering websites and documents in dark text on a light background... I have resorted to copying into blank word docs before but that's not really practical for a forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Fabulous Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 You could try a Chrome extension like Dark Reader. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After a bit of futzing around this just about works, thanks. For anyone that's interested I had to install a new browser that allows extensions (kiwi on android), and then the dark reader extension. The settings that seem to work are theme: light and mode: static. The forum looks ugly and runs badly but it displays as black text on white. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Fabulous Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 You could try Firefox for Android. I know it has extensions (including Dark Reader) and it might give you better performance.https://darkreader.org/blog/mobile/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
