Is there a dark mode for this Grate Sight(TM)?

[Corinthian]

I am finding the white template too bright for my liking. Is there a dark mode option?

[Stuart Galbraith]

It would be nice to select a NATO or Bronze Green option. You do tend to get a bit snow blind after looking at it for a while.

(Not unappreciative btw, but Tomas has a point here).

There is a mordor theme at the bottom. Maybe a bit more easy on the eye but one would expect it to be ... darker.

Still a white background for the text.

New themes are in preparation.

I sympathize. It must be extremely annoying to be sitting at night with your telescope and attempting to plot domination, only to have the night vision completely obliterated by the white screen of one of the key tools used to covertly signal your orders to the global cabal of nefarious henchment. Don't you just hate when that happens? 

For the rest of us, it would be nice to have a less visually imposing background, though I am happy to report that I have used the TN background profitably as a searchlight once late at night, when I was looking for a pen I dropped and I could not be bothered to move four feet to turn on the ceiling light. Yay, laziness.

So there's that, which is nice.

But will it be.... DARK.... 

 

[JasonJ]

Its like with Diablo III. It was too bright and colorful so the fans wanted a return to the dark gothic theme of Diablo 1 and 2.

I'm going to vote for the status quo.  I find the simple black on white text to be very readable and aesthetically pleasing.

This.... was awful, if anyone on this Grate Sight (tm) has constructed this I apologize for being blunt, but really, why?

It was different yesterday.

I dont know, I kinda like it, in an early 1980's text adventure kind of way. Of course its also impossible to read, which might be useful on some threads I guess.

Press F12, choose javascript console and run this three commands (the browser may ask you to enter a magic word first to enable this function). Press enter after each line, the change is instant. Have to do after every pageload.

document.documentElement.style.setProperty('--theme-area_background_light', '192,192,192');
document.documentElement.style.setProperty('--box--backgroundColor', 'lightgray');
document.documentElement.style.setProperty('--theme-page_background', '0,0,0');

Hooray for programmable keyboards!

Lacking a functional F12 key, can we sacrifice a virgin to Cthulu if we carve darkness?

[Ssnake]

Great Cthulhu doesn't care about virginity, as long as they have chewy or crunchy bits.

Lacking because ...

- does not exists

- exists but on a new laptop

- the browser is from before the F12 Developer Tools Revolution

?

I poured tea on it?

I spat out a croissant whilst reading an indigestable Trump Tweet and jammed it irrevocably?

I threw it against the wall when Heatblur mispatched the Tomcat again?

So if it exists, and not behind an Fn or Flock key, you may activate it through the hamburger menu upper right. Firefox Chrome IE11

Intentionally taking out the F12 key requires a PGM.

I may have one around here, let me look. Would a PIAT round do?

British keyboards are fitted for but not with function keys?

 

[Stuart Galbraith]

Only Royal Navy, but they are usually waterlogged anyway, so it doesnt matter.
