Forum dark mode

[mrpbennett]

Is there such thing? For the life of me I can’t find it in my preferences or interface settings? But @discobot says I can set one?

Help!!! My eyes!!! Haha

[discobot]

Hi! To find out what I can do, say @discobot display help.

It may be possible. There is a thread here

“Allow users to select dark / light theme - howto / admins - Discourse Meta” https://meta.discourse.org/t/allow-users-to-select-dark-light-theme/60857

But needs Trading 212 admins to act.

According to Google’s research, colors displayed on the screen can affect the phone’s battery draw, and a night mode (either dark gray or AMOLED black ) can go a long way to save battery . Some of Google’s findings include: … A dark theme can reduce battery usage, even with max brightness, by up to 63% on AMOLED displays

workaround, use chrome and install this:

Dark Mode

Hi just to bump this, was searching the user preferences for the forum for a dark theme.

Could you install one and allow us to have this option please?

Thanks

Agree with this, it’s like a summers morning in the winter

[cezar]

Any chance this can be a thing?

And then there was…dark!

[libreus]

Mr. @obrienciaran, thanks for this. Made my day!

[B.E]

It is something that we’re working on as we speak. I’ll keep you posted.

For anyone interested

What happened to dark mode option? All I have is Theme Default and T212. And neither is dark.
Same on desktop and mobile browser.

[Bogi.H]

At present, those are the only two available modes. If that changes in the future and we add dark mode, I’ll let you know.

Hi All,

Has the Dark Mode Theme on this community forum been removed?

Suddenly I am back to a white theme, and I don’t see any theme options in the Accounts / Preferences or Interface settings any longer?

Is anyone else experiencing this?

Thanks

[HuskyDogg]

Also experiencing this.

Dark mode has been unavailable since 2024 due to certain elements not functioning as expected. You may have continued to see it because you hadn’t logged out or cleared your browser cache, which can retain the previous theme. We’ll let you know if it becomes available again.

[Scott]

So, you’re telling me, since 2024, My Laptop & iPhone have displayed the darker theme from the cache on those devices, and also anyone else that have replied and noticed this recently?

That’s crazy, and this theme is blinding

Thanks for the response though.

[phans]

It does feel like something changed recently. I never set dark mode (didn’t even know there was one).

This morning, my phone was briefly in dark mode on the forums, but the text was dark. So I had to highlight stuff to read. After I switched to my desktop and made a post, the dark mode disappeared.

[Monalithic]

You can install a safari extension from the App Store which can enable dark mode on websites

[Scott]

And yet today, my session is back to dark mode???

Without any changes from myself, just from visiting the forums as normal.
