How long has the dark mode existed?

[CupidStunt]

I only just found it via a random comment in a random thread. WTF. This is yuge!

[chinaski]

Most Vbulletin forums have a variety of skins or themes you can use, I imagine that it is up to the individual Administrator on what to include...

[ChiefsCountry]

I think it looks less professional.

[Hammock Parties]

I think it looks less professional.

We only want professional posters around here.

[BWillie]

How do I change.

I hate light.

[carcosa]

I think it looks less professional.

Icons definitely have some sloppy pixels on the edges that are EXPOSED in night mode

[DaFace]

I'd guess 4-5 years. Yes, the icons are ugly. No, it won't be fixed.

[Hog's Gone Fishin]

How do I change.

I hate light.

Bottom left hand corner:

change to dark mode

[Shaid]

I just switch today. Yeah icons are ugly, I'm seeing if I like it better after a few days use.

[stumppy]

Oh hell yes.

[stumppy]

works on both

[eDave]

BTW, if you are a chatter, it will be dark as well. Including the background, making black fonts nearly invisible.

[kcjayhawks5]

Oh yeah this is way better!

[007]

Oh so much better. Icons suck but I can live with that.

[Buehler445]

Royals theme is the way to go.

[Easy 6]

I had it on dark mode a couple years ago, then it somehow got turned off and I just got back on it today... one thing that really sticks out, is that I'm now seeing curse words and not just mother****er etc

No asterisks, full words... not that I care, just that its been a looong time since its been that way here

[TwistedChief]

I'd guess 4-5 years. Yes, the icons are ugly. No, it won't be fixed.

So, the Chiefs blow a 28pt lead against the Colts and ‘dark mode’ is born. Makes sense.

I propose we create a ‘Mahomes skin’ with shiny brightness and angel wings and halos to celebrate our impending Super Bowl win.

Your avatar used to be a plane in the sky and now it’s the death metal version of Mahomes. You unknowingly moved to dark mode months ago.

[ModSocks]

I had to change back. I admit it. I've been light skinned for far too long. Being dark skinned was hard to get use to.

[ModSocks]

But yes, the dark skin creates substantially more contrast.

It is nice - but if the text was lighter & the backgrund was a deeper black it would be amazeballs.

Hello mods/ Mr. Wizard saw this thread and just had to go start playing with stuff. He tried them all including mobi. How the HE-- do I get this account out of mobi???

It took years of complaining before they implemented it. Since they did I've never gone back.

Agree that the text should be lighter, but no on the darker background.

The text needs to be white instead of silver. That's all i would change.

[CupidStunt]

Wow. Cannot believe it's been around 4-5 years. I guess I was just so used to CP being what it was, and not realizing there's even a chance skins have been added. Whereas with any other site (Twitter, Twitch etc.) - the first thing I do is go to night/dark mode.

After using it for a bit, it's definitely not clean, and is pretty much just worse ... except that it's dark, which makes it better.

[DenverChief]

I only just found it via a random comment in a random thread. WTF. This is yuge!

so much better

[Mahomer]

At this point, I can't take any post seriously if it wasn't written using the dark mode.

I mean how can we trust the source's judgment any further?

[Chief Roundup]

WOW never knew about this before but it is awesome. It makes the Chiefs colors pop a lot more. It is also easier on the eyes. I am definitely going to be trying this for a bit to make sure.

Its good for easy on the eyes board viewing, but makes a very bad uniform

[Iconic]

Eh I'm too used to the OG one. The dark one makes CP look like some creepy ass forum from the dark web that sells underage porn.

[CoMoChief]

it scares the shit out of me and I refuse to use it.

[PHOG]

What else?

[ROYC75]

Never noticed it before, but it's very catchy!

[Frosty]

Pro tip: If you read on a Kindle or the app, you can change it to look like this - white test on a black background. It is much easier on the eyes, especially reading at night.

Also, the Quick Reply box is making me flash back to the DOS days. LMAO

[007]

Wish Facebook had a darkmode on the web.

[cdcox]

I ran over a squirrel on the way to work the other day, and switched to dark mode as penance.

[Miles]

Tried it a few times including today after being reminded it exists. Not for me.

[TinyEvel]

At the Raiders game quite a few Chiefs fans were wearing jerseys of this color, those special black ones with red letters. I guess to cut down the percentage of batteries thrown at them.

[Sweet Daddy Hate]

Wish Facebook had a darkmode on the web.

Probably why I spend ZERO time on that site. FB is so fucking generic looking. Myspace was a better setup IMO.

Anyway, I've been using CP darkmode for about 6 months now and I love it. I've also switched to Opera browser which is fast as fuck and has all of the cool things I liked about Firefox. There are several good dark mode skins for YouTube via Opera which DO NOT switch back and forth from white to dark on a whim like Firefox was doing.

I guess we better rep DaFace for making this happen, yes?

[TwistedChief]

Yeah but you balance that against a red jersey that won't get ruined by blood after you're stabbed in the parking lot. So it's honestly not clear what's the best attire.

[stumppy]

Mine came in existence during my divorce. So, about 18 years.

I have went to the dark side also... Feal the heat of my red light saber...

But if you go with road whites, it's easier for the paramedics to find the stab wounds. Conundrum.

Yep. That's why I don't use the other skins. They're unfiltered. I really don't care to see all of the foul language that is posted here. So, I just stick with the forum default and keep the filters. Too bad. Because the filters sound like a good idea.

That too. But to each his own.

(I do personally find filtering to be odd. It's not actually very common on the interwebs. The only guy who matters wants them, though.)

I prefer reading ChiefsPlanet in the cHargers color scheme so RoyalsPlanet works for me quite nicely.

[NJChiefsFan]

I'm too used to this as well. In general I would much prefer dark mode but I'm not sure it feels like CP.

I took the white up a couple notches. It's still not quite pure white, but it's close. See what you guys think.

We also have an offer from someone who actually does this for a living to try and clean up some of the icons. No promises, but it's possible we might get this cleaned up soonish.

[JakeF]

Wow, Dark mode is going to take some getting used to. The scrollbar is much easier to click on now. :)

For all the noobs who still aren't using Dark Mode.

BTW, old thread. So some of the complaints about Dark Mode have been fixed. It's on point now.

Been using it since....since this thread iirc.

I didn’t even know there was still a light mode option anymore.

I'm reminded of it anytime i jump on CP and am logged out.

It's 2023. Dark Mode should be the default tbh.

Agreed. You should really have to go out of your way to view this site in anything other than dark mode.

[DaFace]

I still don't really use it much, though I don't entirely know why. I have pretty much all my phone apps in dark mode, including Tapatalk, which is how I usually browse CP on a phone. I still use normal mode on desktop, though.

Glad to see it's getting use regardless. Updating all the icons a few years ago made a big difference. I can't even recall who helped with that (he was mostly a lurker), but big props for that.

[ModSocks]

Non-dark mode CP reminds me of an old Winnebago.

Dark mode won't stay put for me on this chromebook. Clicks back to normal setting on its own.

love the dark mode....and it is less bright.

twitter and FB on dark mode too

[JohnnyHammersticks]

The colors pop so much better in dark mode, plus it doesn’t scorch your retinas.

I look at people who haven’t switched to dark mode and 80 posts per page the same way I look at people who still shit in outhouses.

I shit outdoors, no outhouse needed.

TVs and computer monitors and screens in general are way better than they used to be, but there are still limits.

The team I'm working with has a code review on Friday's and they all program in dark mode. Dark mode has more glare and reflections. I guess they are used to it? I sure notice it.

I have noticed that one guy sits in a dark office to program, so I guess that's one way to beat the issue of glare and reflections with dark mode.

I prefer the look of dark mode, really like the red and black... but, switching from a dark mode page to basically anything else puts strain on my eyes. I have Google Messages on dark mode on my phone, and that's about it. Even if I had everything dark, just looking up from it would suck.

I probably could have used it 20 years ago when I sat in the dark quite a bit late at night, but not so much now.

[Shaid]

I've been in dark mode for many years now. It's changed my life!

Nah, but it's hard to go back to regular now that I've been using it. So much easier on my eyes.

Among 472 "active users" (with >100 posts in the past year):

110 "full featured" intentionally (23%)
262 "full featured" because they've just never changed it (55%)

That said, I think that's based on the actual setting in UserCP, but the drop-down in the bottom left is cookie based, so it's possible those aren't fully accurate. Still, kind of interesting to see.

I don't like dark mode because it doesn't filter out cuss words. There's something more enjoyable about reading fuck instead of the actual word.

i normally have everything on dark mode, but the dark mode here is a little off for me. i think the white text is too bright or something.
