Same here. I dont care for dark mode. One of my alienware machines shipped with darkmode kind of setup to it and I just went with it on that one. The rest are normal. So ended up adding plugins to that one machines browsers.I can hardly read now at this age… please don’t change it to dark mode…it confuses the last of my nuerons… and I sorta doze off..or pass out ..or somthing…
I suspect if you found a similar poll about levels of sodium in food a vast majority would respond that they prefer unhealthy levels because it makes the food "edible", since that is what they are used to having been subjected to so much crap from the industrial supply chain. Excess light makes people feel artificially stimulated and "good", but it disrupts circadian rhythms and extra radiation is likely a factor in a number of diseases of the eye."........

Maybe I like feeling “stimulated and good.” without drinking too… that’s a plus for me…I suspect if you found a similar poll about levels of sodium in food a vast majority would respond that they prefer unhealthy levels because it makes the food "edible", since that is what they are used to having been subjected to so much crap from the industrial supply chain.

It didn't work on my phone, but I added 'dark reader' to Firefox on my laptop. diysolarforum.com looks better, but other sites have their color profiles, which were already dark or darkish, messed up to make them less legible, and I'm seeing technical problems on an email browser page already so I turned it off. Sites that offer custom options for themes are way superior in presentation.
One of my long running forums, ADVRider.com (click on "default style" in the bottom left to switch themes), has been on XenForo for the better part of a decade. The "Black Responsive (orange)" theme is very easy on the eyes and readable. It is available from themehouse.com.
Yes, websites usually offer options for personal preference, which I'm supposing is why others are requesting a basic, healthy option here...Maybe I like feeling “stimulated and good.” without drinking too… that’s a plus for me…
No doubt… that’s what they are doing… I can feel it coming in the air tonite… oh Lord…Yes, websites usually offer options for personal preference, which I'm supposing is why others are requesting a basic, healthy option here...

Are the themehouse.com themes the kind of "modules" you are watching? The forums I've followed for 15 years had a bumpy ride when switching over to XenForo from an entirely different software package they had been using, but after that switch it has operated without any major disruption I'm aware of, while including an excellent dark mode from themehouse they have used from the start.As I mentioned at some point before: the software running this forum doesn't have a dark mode option by default. Getting a dark mode 'module' is not straight forward and breaks other things. The last thing we want to do is hack away at the code to make it work to then have it all fail when there is an update. We keep track of current developments to see if there will be a proper dark mode option either as a module or integrated in the core software. The last option would be to write a module ourselves, but we don't really have time/resources at the moment to do that.
I host mainly vbulletin sites but I googled this just now. Should fix the dark mode issue easy enough.
