Night Mode

[Mitch Connor]

Is there an option at all on here to switch from this super bright white and blue theme to a dark theme like on the app?

I know we used to be able to change themes. Even something where the blue stays but we can have a dark grey background?

Is that a thing?

Let me know if you can flick between Default and Kennel Styles using Style Chooser (accessed via bottom left and clicking "thekennel.net.au).

If so I can create an identical style just with the colour pallette inverted (if that helps). There isn't a specific night mode like VB.

 

[Mitch Connor]

I can switch styles but yeah still shockingly bright white background for the layout. Is a dark background something we can actually implement or is that not a thing?

 

[Mr Invisible]

Yeah looks like I can... I've just created a child theme based on TheKennel theme called KennelDarkTheme.

Have a look, though there is probably a bit of tinkering required.

These are the colours I can individually change:

As you can see, I can revert them back, or change each colour to literally any colour at all. Only thing is I'm not 100% what each item specifically changes. Can probably figure it out though.

 

[Mitch Connor]

Maybe worth bringing it up with the powers that be? At least as an option, not a fulltime thing

 

[Mr Invisible]

Looks like there are some add-ons that allow it (but they basically do the above). Can you see Kennel Dark Theme?

I'll admit it does look a tad shite, but with some tinkering to the colours might be workable.

I don't use the app so not sure how the above theme compares to it.

If you chuck up some screenshots I can probably try to replicate it on the Dark Theme though.

If it requires add-ons that's a Nash job.

On the app for me.

Cheers .. and apart from the colour scheme will the Dark Theme work as you are after?

I should note, if you can flick between Dark Theme and normal, it's only a mod/admin allowed thing at the moment.

Normal users shouldn't have that option.

Just switched over.. The black background is a nice start but it looks heaps odd you are right, but it is still better than blinding white for me lol

 

[Mr Invisible]

So with that theme I can change any of the colours as per that screenshot above. Just a matter of working out which label pertains to what.

 

[Mitch Connor]

Hey Mr I..

I've realised that the dark mode you created is basically just the Default Style with colours inverted.

Is it possible to have just a dark grey template, with the same blue headers etc that we use on the Kennel Style theme?

 

[Mr Invisible]

Have a look now and let me know what you think.

I've done a bit of fine tuning.

Still can't figure out the area to change stickied and subforum background though.

Pretty much exactly what I had in mind, cheers guru

No worries ... if theres any tweaks it needs just give us a yell.

Had to set a few to black, then change to white to figure out what they did.
