Suggestion: Dark Mode?


Pallas

Recommended Posts

Hello everyone :)


I tend to use the 'dark mode'  option on any site I am on (YouTube, other fora, Discord, Twitter, etc.).
I don't know if I cannot find it, or if it is simply not an option at this time.
If it is the latter, may I please suggest to introduce a dark mode option? ^^   It would be a lot easier on the eyes for me (dark mode also helps with my dyslexia) and for other people.


Thank you for reading!

I am always in dark mode, dark lights sting my soul. In layman's terms, I agree.

ooo, I would love to have a dark mode too. The dark mode is easier for me to read and pay attention to. So if it was a poll i would definetely vote for dark mode.

I agree with the dark mode idea. I have sensitive eyes, and sites blasting white light at me become hard to look at after a while.

Maybe @Petra Jane  can give some answers on this one she is one of our computer Gurus here.  Or we can get @Dev to show up on it.

There currently is not a Dark Theme enabled on the forums, only the default Transpulse green one.

Night mode Themes are available from Invision mod forums, perhaps @Dev would consider adding the option at some point?

It's not something I was aware was easily possible. Mostly I tend to reduce the brightness afterdark as I switch between many sites and apps so a blanket cover works reasonably with me. I do see that it would be a good addition though.

I use it on my phone as well.  Reducing the brightness helps but for us older gals/guys with failing eyes and the tiny type on our phones it can be a struggle to read.  Lol

I'd like to toss my two-cent hat in the ring!  I am pretty light-sensitive, and use dark mode for every app that allows it.  If TransPulse had a dark mode setting, I would switch to it at once.

With a bit of tweaking in Windows 10, I have found that you can set it to Night LIght from the Notifications button at the right edge of the tool bar.  Mine works best using the Invision Default instead of the Trans Pulse green default. That may be a makeshift until we can get our big computer guru @Devworking on it.

Thanks for that Vicky. It's easy to adjust the brightness on my laptop but I'll try that as well.

If you use Chrome, you can add extensions that support dark mode for all, or most, sites. I just downloaded a new one that works with this site when it cleared everything on me. 

Just search 'YouTube Dark' and the one that I find works is 'Dark Night Mode'.

I personally prefer Firefox, and there is an add-on I like to use sometimes called Stylish.  Takes some knowledge of CSS, though.

I recently switched to ‘Dark Mode’ on my iOS for my new-ish iPad. I waited until enough apps had support and now almost all do except that Safari doesn’t render this website  (and many others) in a ‘Dark Mode‘ theme like Firefox does.

 

Our Transpulse Forum looks wonderful in Firefox’s built-in version of ‘Dark Mode’ called ‘Night Mode‘ in Settings (see pic). If you have a iOS mobile device you might give it a spin.

Whats with Dark Mode?  It seems like a UI trend or fad.    I can see in some situations it makes for a better experience.  But does it really have to show up in everything with a UI?

I can’t tell you whether it’s a fad but it is a current trend. For me, it makes using my iPad much easier. My eyes would become tired and blurry after 30 mins on this device. I started using Night Shift which was added to Apple’s iOS a few years ago. That helped a bit by reducing the blue light from the screens light spectrum that tires the user’s eyes. But now with Dark Mode/Night Mode, I haven’t had this issue being on my iPad and it seems to keep the battery from draining as fast too.

Ohh Nice share @Susan R

 

Sadly on my browser (Firefox) I cant seem to find a dark mode for the page content. It Blacks out the tool bars a treat but the actual page. Nope. That does look pretty good judging by your screenshot.

 

I find dark mode much easier on the eye on other devises.

      I grew up with it, my mother's side were Germans.  I still like cabbage.  I make a sweet/sour dish with vinegar and brown sugar, add some bacon if you have it.  And in warmer weather, slaw.  I like that better if it's a few days old, and has worked off a little.

      Good Friday Morning    I will be spending a good portion of my day at church today.  I don’t know how any of my family would have been with me.  They all passed before I figured myself out.  I often think my mother and sister may have figured it out before I did but maybe it was just my depression that they saw.  I don’t know and never will.  My grandfather Young unconditionally loved me but he passed when I was 9.   Same with my wife’s parents, both gone before.  We’ve never had the greatest relationship with my wife’s brother but we do see them occasionally.  They words and actions aren’t always in sink when it comes to me.   Sour kraut or boil cabbage were never big even with my parents so that was something we were never expected to eat.  Nor was anything with mustard.  My mother hated mustard and it turns my stomach. My wife tried to sneak it into things early in our marriage but I could always tell.  She stopped after a while.   well I wave to go get ready to go to church.  I have a committee meeting at 10 and then we have a Good Friday Service at noon.   Willow

      Good morning everyone,   @KymmieLI hope you're misreading your bosses communications. As you say keep plugging a long. Don't give them signs that you're slow quitting, just to collect unemployment.   I have a few things to do business wise, and will be driving to the St. Louis, MO area for two family gatherings.   Have a great day,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Good morning everyone, TGIFF   It seems like I am the one keeping or shop from being the best. According to the boss. I don't know if my days are numbered or not. But anymore I am waiting for the axe to fall. Time will tell.   I keep plugging a long.   Kymmie

      What is relaxation to you? Nature? Movie? Reading? Cuddling with a pet? Music?

      Having just a normal emotional day.

      AMUSEMENT The feeling when you encounter something silly, ironic, witty, or absurd, which makes you laugh. You have the urge to be playful and share the joke with others. Similar words: Mirth Amusement is the emotional reaction to humor. This can be something that is intended to be humorous, like when someone tells a good joke or when a friend dresses up in a ridiculous costume. But it can also be something that you find funny that was not intended to be humorous, like when you read a sign with a spelling error that turns it into an ironic pun. For millennia, philosophers and scholars have been attempting to explain what exactly it is that makes something funny. This has led to several different theories. Nowadays, the most widely accepted one is the Incongruity Theory, which states that something is amusing if it violates our standards of how things are supposed to be. For example, Charlie Chaplin-style slapstick is funny because it violates our norms of competence and proper conduct, while Monty Python-style absurdity is funny because it violates reason and logic. However, not every standard or norm violation is necessarily funny. Violations can also evoke confusion, indignation, or shock. An important condition for amusement is that there is a certain psychological distance to the violation. One of the ways to achieve this is captured by the statement ‘comedy is tragedy plus time’. A dreadful mistake today may become a funny story a year from now. But it can also be distant in other ways, for instance, because it happened to someone you do not know, or because it happens in fiction instead of in real life. Amusement also needs a safe and relaxed environment: people who are relaxed and among friends are much more likely to feel amused by something. A violation and sufficient psychological distance are the basic ingredients for amusement, but what any one person find funny will depend on their taste and sense of humor. There are dozens of ‘humor genres’, such as observational comedy, deadpan, toilet humor, and black comedy. Amusement is contagious: in groups, people are more prone to be amused and express their amusement more overtly. People are more likely to share amusement when they are with friends or like-minded people. For these reasons, amusement is often considered a social emotion. It encourages people to engage in social interactions and it promotes social bonding. Many people consider amusement to be good for the body and the soul. By the end of the 20th century, humor and laughter were considered important for mental and physical health, even by psychoneuroimmunology researchers who suggested that emotions influenced immunity. This precipitated the ‘humor and health movement’ among health care providers who believed that humor and laughter help speed recovery, including in patients suffering from cancer1). However, the evidence for health benefits of humor and laughter is less conclusive than commonly believed2. Amusement is a frequent target of regulation: we down-regulate it by shifting our attention to avoid inappropriate laughter, or up-regulate it by focusing on a humorous aspect of a negative situation. Interestingly, amusement that is purposefully up-regulated has been found to have the same beneficial physical and psychological effects as the naturally experienced emotion. Amusement has a few clear expressions that emerge depending on the intensity of the emotion. When people are mildly amused, they tend to smile or chuckle. When amusement intensifies, people laugh out loud and tilt or bob their head. The most extreme bouts of amusement may be accompanied by uncontrollable laughter, tears, and rolling on the floor. Most cultures welcome and endorse amusement. Many people even consider a ‘good sense of humor’ as one of the most desirable characteristics in a partner. At the same time, most cultures have (implicit) rules about what is the right time and place for amusement. For example, displays of amusement may be deemed inappropriate in situations that demand seriousness or solemness, such as at work or during religious rituals.
