Hello everyone,
Today we're making public the dark theme of our site and with it, we're announcing both new layouts (light and dark). Let us know if you like these new themes and what we can do to improve them. Thank you!

Love the new dark theme however this header takes way too much space.

Love the new dark theme however this header takes way too much space.

Unless one perhaps tries to make the brighter dark field in parts ( left and right ) blend/mix better into the above and below. Similar the light theme has now. That effect makes the size look less obvious.

Dark Theme looks great. Good job! @Jack

The dark theme looks good, though my personal preference has to be the old version. I'm stubborn like that, plus I prefer dark grays over flat black (or close too).

Like the dark theme, but yesterday started noticing that when 'unread items' are selected it displays the full list twice. If I switch to the light theme then they're displayed once, but switching back shows the list twice again. Running Windows 11 and Chrome both with latest updates. Strange...

Maybe its my eyes, maybe my glasses but in dark theme the text is a bit blurry for me.

I also noticed that, but like you I also thought it was just me and my eyes.

I prefer dark themes, but I really liked the previous grey theme.

And the white text on bright green is really hard to read for me.

I like dark theme designs and tones, but when using a glossy display, the dark theme is always face-to-face with my reflected face, which can be very distracting.
That's why I choose the light theme.

Dark themes are overwhelmingly more recognizable for changes in the text display of links. This is enviable.

I only use the black theme, the white kills my eyes.

I liked the green color, it looks very stylish with the black, good job @Jack!

I like the new design. But I suggest in dark theme, the symbols and texts such as like, quote, last edited and profile information to be "whiter" or "brighter". They grey color of the text is "similar" to the dark background making it difficult to distinguish and read.

I like the Dark!

Thanks for the feedback! I'll try to implement some of the suggestions. I've changed the title bar background from a gray to a blue/green hue to match the Light theme.
