as you can see text is not so readable and distro logo is barely visible (depends how your monitor brightness/gamma setting is)

Sorry about that dude, I will switch over to it soon and exclusively use it for a day or two to hammer out niggles with it.

Another issue with dark theme is the page buttons

This was updated today along with other stuff: https://www.gamingonlinux.com/articles/some-more-site-updates-today-various-sections-changed.8689

I will wait for feedback on other stuff I may have missed.

Quoting: GuestIt would be great if you could make the change to the bright style too, so the page buttons are not forced to a light grey background. (Sorry, no screenshot as I don’t have a paint program installed at the moment… But I’ll do it if needed.)
I don't get what the issue is on the light style, it looks fine to me. If you're using some custom CSS styling I can't make changes based on outside extensions.

Well it was working fine a few months ago, but yeah, whatever.
"Yeah whatever" is not a helpful comment.

If you want me to do something, be constructive about it.

I have fixed the Bookmark icon, I have also fixed Distro icons not showing up on the Profile or View PC Info popover.

On top of that, the fancybox popover for images and the View PC info popover now have a black background instead of white.

Will continue to do improvements.

I've also just added a dark version of the default avatar, so it's not so glaring on the dark theme :)

I'm actually re-doing the pagination at the moment to not look so crap. Please hold on, should have it done by the end of tonight. I'm hoping it will look better for you too then :)

Quoting: GuestLooks like the Midnight surfing CSS style doesn’t handle that specific way of changing the background color and leaves the original light grey instead of changing it to dark grey, so the text is quite hard to read. Unfortunately it’s the best dark style I have found and I’m no CSS expert. But as I said, don’t bother. I’ll try to fix it myself.
have you checked those: https://userstyles.org/styles/browse/gamingonlinux

someone has made a dark theme for this site.

The newer pagination style is now up, and I made sure it has a working dark theme version right away. It looks slicker and not as plain.

Let me know if it's any better your end stan.

Quoting: GuestYep, no background color issue now! Thanks!
Fantastic news, pleased it fixed the original crap style and your issues too, double win!

More improvements done today for you, fixed up pre-inputs on forms to not have a really bright part on them. You will mainly see it on the homepage of the UserCP.

Hope it's OK that I'm necro-ing this thread. If not, I'll make a new one. Anyway:

I was poking around the site today and noticed an issue with the Support Us page. The background colour is hard coded in the style.css file (line 925) for the support-us-box div. This makes it appear white for the dark theme (#efefef).
