Does this site have a Dark Mode

Hey, just a fast question... I was wondering if this site has a dark mode, and if yes, where do I find it... I find the white very hard on my eyes sometimes...
Just curious...

Hard on the eyes? If you are serious that the screen is too bright.
Then access your monitor and adjust the brightness to your liking.
If you are talking about something else, then you are on your own.
 
Mike, I've been using a program called f.lux for years.

I'm not sure what you mean by "dark mode", but f.lux automatically adjusts my normally bright monitor to a more subdued (cooler) brightness between sunset and sunrise for my specific location. This seems to help for me.

(Their site says it's for Windows operating systems - not sure about others.)

Try selecting all the print as is if you were going to copy it somewhere else. I've done that on sites where they use white text on a black background. Talk about hard on the eyes.
 
For others' info:
Some sites do have a variety of appearances, that the user can easily choose from, of how the screen appears, for them,
and some of those options are significantly easier on the eyes, than this one is.
Darker blue or brown colors, with some contrast color.... can honestly be better for some people.

I am posting, Just to say this is a valid computer issue,
but Matrix has given the answer, and replied to the OP, that this program doesn't have those options available.

It helps a little to lower the brightness, on your own computer,
but the other options, designed for vision difficulties, would help more than that.

If they were available, here, I would definitely select it and use it here, in addition to the adjustments of my own computer.
 
Many users don't have any idea of what their monitor can do.

Usually there are a couple of buttons on the bottom right hand side of the monitor which you can access and set your preferences. You don't need windows programs or anything else.

I know that brightness is easily adjusted.

The option for brightness is easy.
 
Not the same as a computer "Dark Mode", but my Windows 10 computer has a "night" setting:
Settings > System > Night Light Settings
which is more about replacing the "blue" from the screen with warmer colors. The strength of the color can also be set with a slider.

Not the same, but ...

On the Mac, there is an automatic night setting for the screensaver. I forgot about that!
It takes the screensaver scenery and changes it as the day goes on from sunrise to sunset. The first time I saw that, I thought my eyes were playing tricks with me.

Matrix, is there any way to swap out the light blue that's behind our profile images with the text box color? That might make a slight improvement. My eyes also fatigue easily from the glare, especially in long reads.

You mean the left side with the avatar and user info? Replace it with the background color where we input the post?

I'm wondering if we could just swap so the avatar background is the bright white (since we don't stare at it) and the input text box is the current color of the avatar background - the slightly less bright background for reading. If there are no color choices, this option might still be available perhaps. Just an idea, since I have no concept of the limitations or capabilities of this software.
