Hey, I think forums should have optional dark mode (by default prefferably )
I know I shouldnt post links but Im not sure how else I can post images here, so here it goes :v
I made some primitive darkmode layout stylesheet, and also inverted main colors in default stylesheet, here are effects: (much softer to look at than snow white burning-eye bright )

Well my styles are not perfect but if you want, I can make them bit better and contribute.

The only style I can stand is "Crunchbang".

^I understand you perfectly, that is what I use too. Old school b/w/g. Very easy and comfortable for my eyes.

It is true that there are websites that are very hard on the eyes.
I don't think that's the case here.
BunsenLabs forum looks good.
If someone wants dark mode, it can be done easily with a few lines in CSS.
If people would know how little brain is ruling the world, they would die of fear.

It's already been done.

@johnraff
Nice option.
There's probably a reason it has to be logged in first.
But, as I said:

Yes indeed.
Before logging in, the server doesn't know the user's preference, so just shows the default style.
(I guess something could have been done with javascript for anonymous viewers...)
If a majority of people preferred it, we could change the default style to "Crunchbang", it wouldn't be difficult...

Welp, my bad Turns out Im too used to modern-day standards like darkmode beign accesible as first thing on any page lol.
I literally did surface check, and proceeded straight to forking own darkmode heh.
I checked styles and I have to say i both love designs and naming after elements concept
So far I'll use Tungsten and Im really happy with it's looks.

I think that would be great choice
Less blinding colors generally the better,
regardless of case really, as white and bright simply emit more pain particles directly into your soft and sensitive eyes
Not to mention plenty people live & work in night time cycle, so also those people will choose darker ui regardless of prefference as comfort is always higher priority than aesthetics

I agree.
If you prefer "Crunchbang", you have my vote.

Why not, worth a try,I think it would be cool to have #! as default style to the forums. It would also represent a kind of homage to the roots of BunsenLabs.
If there are a massive amount of complaints one could always change back to what it is now.

This is all up to @johnraff when all is said and done, since he's the sole maintainer of the website and forums for now. He's also doing the ISO builds both 64 and 32 bit, and the corresponding Bunsenlabs package builds, and he has a life to live outside of that!
I have no objection to using a dark theme by default, but I'd ask that we put this discussion on the back burner until Boron is out (we're getting pretty close to that now, by the way!)
Thanks for all the enthusiasm, it's always appreciated.
I use Antimon but, as long as the theme options remain in "Display", any default is fine by me.
No, he can't sleep on the floor. What do you think I'm yelling for?!!!

Sure, no problem. Whenever the glove fits,if it fits!?

I just thought - on my smartphone I can't use the Crunchbang theme because the layout isn't small-screen friendly at all. I have to use Hydrogen.
So I guess that rules out Crunchbang as default theme. We'll have to make a new theme: take eg Hydrogen and adjust the colours to match Crunchbang... either that or fix Crunchbang's layout. So maybe it will have to be left till after Boron release.

Just about to have a look at this. I hope there aren't any hidden complications...

It's possible to do a cookies only (no concept of 'user') config (like a theme selector), but somebody would have to hack that together.
p.s. and +1 for crunchbang look.

Looking at applying the Crunchbang colours to a Hydrogen clone.
Hydrogen seems to give the most usable display on my smartphone so far - does anyone know a BL style which works better layout-wise on a small display? I haven't tried them all.

How about quick Crunchbang.css hack, where from line 1938, one would set width to 100%:
@media only screen and (min-width: 480px) {
/* Style adjustments for viewports 480px and over go here */
#masthead, .pun {
position:relative;
width:100%;
}
and same for the '@media only screen and (min-width: 768px)' section.
@media only screen and (min-width: 768px) {
/* Style adjustments for viewports 768px and over go here */
#masthead, .pun {
position:relative;
width:100%;
}
I can't seem to find the part that makes id brdmenu dissaper.
To show brdmenu even in mobile version, line 1884, change to:
/* Media Queries for responsive design -------------------------------------- */
#brdmenu ul {padding: 0;}
edit: Also commented out all the lines that call crunchbang.org, like
/* background:#000 url(http://crunchbang.org/css/images/search.png) center no-repeat; */
Anyway, full 'fixed' css for testing, where 'fixed' means that mobile use may be improved: https://gist.github.com/brontosaurusrex … aae90ba59f
