How would you find it if there was a dark mode. I think it would be very good, it would be much easier on the eyes. What do you think?

Sry my englisdh isnt the best :D

And I want a blue one. And someone wants a pink one. And a green one. And purple one. How many of them will be enough?

The only two standards are enough. Main theme and dark theme. Like with any modern site or service.

Bullshit. Google - no dark theme. Microsoft.com - no dark theme. Steam - no light theme. Discord - no light theme (you don't really consider this abomination a light theme, right?). So no, most modern sites has exactly one theme, except of some hipster-oriented indie sites.

You are absolutely wrong. Google now tries to give every single application/website its dark theme and Youtube on the web is not an exception.
People are asking for this feature, because they have obviously seen it elsewhere.

I said google, not all Alphabet products. google.com. I guess it's most used site in the world. So tell me, where to turn dark theme on it?

People are NEVER satisfied with what they have. So, like I said, if we start to implement every theme someone wants - we never gonna finish it. That's why there is A LOT of extensions to append custom styles, where everyone can find exactly what they want, and if not - can create new, unique theme, just for their taste. This is a sane choice, and this is enough for everyone.

Some features can't be implemented properly with userscript/extension. But colors/styles are not among those.

Nope, you are wrong again. And again. And again.

Literally, on every modern application is an option to choose from light/dark.

Great. So you literally suggest to use third-party tool to make it black? THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I WAS SUGGESTING ABOVE. You just proved that I'm right, and that you are wrong.

You really like to make a fool of yourself, don't you? Tell me how to set google.com to black in FIREFOX. I don't use any shitty chrome-based browsers. What you suggest - is to use some shitty chrome browser to make it black, so yes, this it is third-party tool.
CHROME is not GOOGLE.COM. Both are made by Alphabet, but those are DIFFERENT products. You suggest to use different product. So you are proving that I'm right, and you don't even understand what you are talking about.

... thanks for calling bullshit. Google literally has dark mode tho... Also, Microsoft.com? Are we also taking on Yahoo Sports now?

Like with the Steam and Discord part you're getting it, yeah. You're like getting it while also yelling at me that I'm saying bullshit. Literally you give me dark mode examples, then boldly make false claims and then say that Microsoft.com is some bastion of website design. If you're joking, I mean, it's a good joke then. But the sense of arrogance tied with all of this just can't be a serious statement, I hope at least.

Literally look at the top websites and you have your answer. But let me know what you find on cartoonnetwork.com and philsconspiracytheoryblogs.sexy as well to really make your point.

Nothing more hipster-oriented than Google, Youtube, every porn site, Twitter and so on, right? God damn hipsters! I only use microsoft.com for my web-browsing habits.

Look, sass aside, it's not hard to find proof against your points. You can also create an argument without lying and shittalking others.

Only it's not. Unless you can provide instructions how to set it to dark mode in firefox on PC.

Literally you give me dark mode examples,

It does not matter if it's dark or light. It's ONE theme, and no other one. So one theme is enough.

Literally look at the top websites and you have your answer.

That's what I did. And answer is - you are wrong, I am right. If you are seeing another answer - you are wrong.

Look, sass aside, it's not hard to find proof against your points.

But you found none. Still TOO hard for you, yeah?

Actually, the dark one alone would be enough IMO. The concept being, the only theme we really need is the one that doesn't rip your eyes out.

I don't even know honestly. I haven't used custom userstyles for quite some time already (few years ago I used them actively, mainly not dark or light, but something in between). But I would love to see how it looks, if you don't mind.

Using Stylus in Firefox. Not sure if it'll work elsewhere.

Wow, it looks pretty good. But also pretty unusual. I'll try to use it for a while. Those guys complaining about lack of dark theme really should try yours.

Cool, glad you like it. And yeah, it's pretty unusual - I prefer a metro-like style (less round, sharper edges) but with only one colour. I like blue, so I went with that.

I haven't officially posted it anywhere so this is the first time I share it since making it a year or a few ago. :P

I've used it for about half a day and have mixed feelings about it. I really enjoyed it for discussions, you did a great work with selecting colors. But not so much when it comes to giveaways - their colored background does not match the rest of the style, and entering button seems confusing. Giveaway listing also seems unusual, maybe I can get used to it, if used it for a longer time. After all, I decided to switch back to classic view.

Ah yeah, that's one of the weakest part of it - since I don't enter giveaways much at all anymore, I didn't bother to make them look good. I basically just made sure it matched the theme, but aside from that I didn't put much time into that part of the website.

Totally, having one plugin per site is ridiculous, and although a generic plugin can help (personally I use this https://darkreader.org/ ), it also creates massive performance issues so I try to enable it only as a last resort

I've been using dark mode through ESGST (SG Dark Grey by SquishedPotatoe).
But I think dark mode feature should be in-build in the site itself. It's really helpful if you don't want to install or don't have extensions or plugins.
It would be really useful when you are browsing SG from mobile devices.

The fact that neutral-tone themes (grey, pastels, etc) never get any mention, despite being far easier on the eyes [assuming they're designed properly, as they inherently have less clear contrasting than white/dark] than white [which are easy to make distinctions on, but are overly forceful] or dark [which often require a bit more straining to pick out details] themes, is just bewildering.

Though I have seen darker [but not "dark"] grey themes associated with "dark" mode before- so I'm in on that, if that's where we're going with it. (Conversely, I'll take the present white theme over the "SG Dark Grey Userstyle", any day) :P

SG is responsible for almost all of my Vitamin D intake - so I say no to a dark mode.

Sure - that sounds cool. I like light mode though :3

Indeed, been asking for a dark theme since I joined. I've always thought the grey and blue of the site's logo would make a great theme.
However, until one is implemented (this topic comes up at least once a year), you'll have to make do with userstyles.

If you decide to use a userstyle, I highly recommend Mully's Steamgifts Modern, which you can customize with your own background.
