Is the Unity Forums getting Dark Mode soon?

[ALEXWARELLC]

My eyes are hurting from looking at the Unity Forums for long periods of time.
Is there any plans on a dark mode for the Unity Forums?

There are dark mode extensions available for at least some major browsers.

If your eyes hurt, consider configuring your display. Either brightness/contrast is too high, or you’re lacking backlighting behind the display. Whatever you see behind the display, in general, should be lit.

To add to the above, your eyes strain comes from working in too dark environment. Make sure you got plenty of the light.

Dark Mode for Unity Forums

When will Unity provide a dark mode for the forums? It seems like google is the only company trying to actively burn my retinas (referring to the 'updated' Developer play console for Android). I am pretty sure I am not the only one who gets fatigued easily looking at a mostly white screen for the majority of a work day. I regularly get eye strain and migraines as a result. It may seem like a silly thing for most, but for some of us it actually effects our performance and ability to work. Is th…

Darkmode for forum and docs

I am an avid dark mode user and I wasn't able to find a dark mode setting for forum.unity.com or docs.unity3d.com So I created my own. It's pretty simple. I installed the browser extension "Custom Style Script" for Firefox (I think it's for Chrome as well) and created two items. Instructions below. Item 1 -- Docs [spoiler] Step 1: set the URL to https://docs.unity3d.com/ Step 2: set the Style to ``` body {color: #AAA !important;} search-query { background-color: #333; border-colo…

Dark theme forum

I would love it if the unity forum had a dark mode. Would perfectly compliment the rest of my UI and be much easier on the eyes.

Also, my advice from the old htreads should be still relevant:

“Being able to stand a lightbulb” does not mean you’ll be able to stare into said lightbulb for 8 hours while trying to read text written on it. Also the issue is usually contrast coupled with high brightness ( The worst monitor I ever saw could make my eyes hurt in under a minute. )

Modern monitors are incredibly bright, incredibly high contrast, and that tires eyes out very quickly. Basically, for comfortable reading you’ll usually need to set monitor brightness to zero (and enjoy crushed blacks), or lit up your room with a military projector. (Never needed backlighting when I still had my Sony CRT. I miss that damn thing).

The fun part, however is that dark mode won’t fully address the issue. You’ll be seeing afterimages instead due to all the white text. A more comfortable mode would likely be gray on black instead of white on black.

@neginfinity

People do not have a “selective hearing” issue. When you have a problem looking at a white screen, it means your room is too dark. You could get away with this with a CRT, but with a modern monitor, you need to brightly lit up the room or at least the wall behind your screen. Basically the wall behind the monitor should be as bright as the monitor or close. If you fail to do that, your eyes are going to hurt. And in case of “Dark mode” you’ll be enjoying afterimages.

Yep, Dark Reader! It‘s not like Unity forum is the only black on white website out there …
