Hey there!

So which version of the default theme do you prefer, the light theme or dark theme?

To switch between them, scroll up and look for your miniature avatar picture. Click it to get your menu up and choose the light/dark theme.

Dark. I switched to it within the first few days and never went back.

Throw your dog the invisible bone.

I've switched back and forth some, but generally use the dark theme - as I do for most apps / things. It consumes a little less power and is a little less likely to keep me up at night.

I like dark too. I have a feeling that's going to be popular here.

The Word has spoken :D

I've been using Light.  I can see the merits of Dark, it's a little gentler on the eyes.  But Light makes me feel more...cheerful I guess.  :)


I always take dark when given the option, one of the first things I did after registering.


I've tried both but have been mostly using the light theme.



I'm thinking perhaps the dark theme should be the forum default instead of the light one 🤔

The dark theme was hideous. Glad I could switch it.


If you only knew the POWER of the DARK SIDE!  :laughing:
Personally, I like the light one, which is what I've used since day one. Mind you, I've never tried the dark theme, so maybe I should let the hate flow through me?

Whaaaaat? You haven't tried it?

It's better for late night browsing and saving a little bit of power from not having your screen shine so bright 🙂

To repeat what someone else said. Whenever I have the option I always choose dark.

Me too. I tend to post a bit at bedtime and don't want the light theme to wake/keep me up.
