Dark Mode in Forums

[DE0]

Is there a dark mode feature here?  If not, can one be added?  The forums are almost all white space and my eyes are so sensitive it gives me headaches to try and view these pages.

Deo, you can change to dark mode with windows microsoft on your computer. Also with I pads and iphones there is a dark mode feature.

I have my settings set to dark mode on my browser but it does not change web pages, just the browser.

@DE0 I use Darkreader addon which is available for most browsers https://darkreader.org Perhaps that might help?

Dark Reader is a blessing for my laptop, but I wish that there was a way to enable/force Dark Mode on my Android phone (Zazzle and the Zazzle community forums still show up with white backgrounds).

@WHS_Designs there must be a way. I just asked Bard to see if he knew ...

"Not all Android devices have a dark mode. Dark mode was first introduced in Android 10, so devices running older versions of Android will not have this feature. However, many older devices have received updates to Android 10 or later, so it is becoming increasingly common to find dark mode on Android devices.

In addition to the system-wide dark mode, many individual apps also offer their own dark mode settings. This is because not everyone wants to use dark mode all the time, and some apps may look better with a light theme.

Here are some of the ways to check if your Android device has dark mode:

1. Go to Settings > Display > Advanced > Dark theme. If this option is available, your device supports dark mode.
2. Open an app with dark mode support and look for a "Theme" or "Display" option in the settings. If this option is available, you can enable dark mode for that app.
3. Check the app's website or developer's website to see if they have announced support for dark mode.

If you cannot find dark mode on your device, you can try to update your device's firmware to the latest version. You can also try downloading a third-party app that can force dark mode on your device. However, these apps may not work with all apps and may have some bugs"

so ...hmmm...

Depending on which browser you use on your android, you should be able to set it up as most browsers have one (disclaimer - I don't have an android and have no idea how it works)

@Sara_H I'll give it a try. I do have Android 13 on my phone. Thanks!!

[WHS_Designs]

figured out how to force Dark mode on Chrome (or Edge) on my Android 13 phone.

in the browser address bar, type chrome://flags (or edge://flags)

In the Search flags search bar, type Dark Mode.

This will pull up the Experimental Feature Auto Dark Mode for Web Contents.

Change (from Default or Disabled) to Enabled.

Close windows and restart.

(for Brave users, by default Brave sets Auto Dark Mode for Web Contents as Enabled).

@WHS_Designs 🎉 hooray!
