Question for the board - dark mode
May 02, 2023 02:52 AM #1

Hey @approxinfinity or anyone else who admins the board, I was wondering if there was any way to enable a dark mode on viewing kubuckets? I usually get caught up on my reading in the evening after the twins are asleep and it's sometimes hard on these tired eyes.

Thanks for the great community!

Can't you just darken your screen?

"Dark mode" is feature that some operating systems, apps and platforms offer... The open source platform that KU Buckets is built on may or may not have that style as an option. The most likely place such a feature would be available is in the settings area (that's where your profile pic is, in the upper right corner).

If you go there, you can see there is a feature called "skins" that seems to just change the font and nothing more. It's possible that the platform allows more skins modules to be added and maybe there is a skin that changes the style to dark mode. Or perhaps there is an option in the tool for dark mode that just needs to be turned on in order for the option to be available to users.

Either way, this is something the site admin ( @approxinfinity ) would have investigate. If the platform doesn't have the option, and there isn't a "skin" solution, there really isn't an easy way for users to achieve dark mode.

Good call @bskeet. @balu-the-bear check out Settings - Select a Skin - Darkly - Save Changes (bottom).

Blue-blocker glasses work pretty well too. And they're very stylish.

Dark mode on the phone or use the skin as they told before.

@AlGrano are you real or imaginary, friend?

@approxinfinity Who you talking to?

Neil Diamond can help:

So you turn to the only friend you can find

There in your mind.

Shilo, when I was young

I used to call your name.

When no one else would come

Shilo, you always came.

And we'd play....
