Author Topic: Dark Mode for RAWK (Read 40073 times)

Rush 82 · « **on:** November 18, 2021, 09:26:34 pm »

I've developed an unfortunate eye condition where, in addition to the cataract in my right eye, I have extreme uveitis which results in me not being able to view anything bright without squinting heavily.

Sites such as RAWK which have a bright white background have therefore become almost unusable on PC, and pretty much the same on mobile now that Tapatalk no longer works.

Fortunately, I discovered an Extenstion for the Firefox browser that allows you to apply a 'dark' mode to any website - just sharing it here for anyone else who may be struggling with something similar.

It's called: "Dark Mode" (refer link )
Dark theme and night shift mode for every website. Care your eyes, use Dark Mode for night and daily web browsing.

Ask to get put on the dark mode pilot... I've been on it for months. It's great and works much better than those extensions which break loads of websites.

I also have issues with my eyesight that make dark mode much easier and it was a godsend for me.

It would be Claire I think yeah. It was initially discussed in the Tapatalk thread.

Is it? Weird. I'll enable it on your account.

It's not _finished_ but close, will hopefully get time over xmas to finish off a few last bits.

This Dark Mode is boss! Much appreciated.
Appreciate all the hard work that's gone into as well

Glad it's working better for you. There's not much else that needs doing on the full theme, think I've got some missing icons and there's some weird shit in the admin (none of you care obviously) but I wanted to look at the mobile version again cos some of the bits being hidden are annoying.

Any chance of having dark mode as well please? Thanks!

This would be epic. The white hurts my eyes reading it whilst doing late night feeds with the kids

Hi Claire. Any chance I can have it enabled on mine as well , please. Fanx

Wow, it’s nice this. Lovely looking layout

DAWK?

Kenny19 · « **Reply #16 on:** March 17, 2022, 12:26:26 pm »

I'd love to check out the dark mode as well.
Thanks in advance!

RainbowFlick · « **Reply #17 on:** March 17, 2022, 12:54:56 pm »

I'd like this too if possible? Also have a weird eye condition at the moment

-Willo- · « **Reply #18 on:** March 17, 2022, 03:23:33 pm »

Would like this too if possible, sorry for adding to the long list

meady1981 · « **Reply #19 on:** March 18, 2022, 05:04:36 pm »

Im so sorry, can i be dark too?

Claire. · « **Reply #20 on:** March 19, 2022, 07:47:47 am »

done

meady1981 · « **Reply #21 on:** March 19, 2022, 08:51:58 am »

Nice!
Ahhhhhh my eyes

RainbowFlick · « **Reply #22 on:** March 19, 2022, 12:11:56 pm »

that's a lot more pleasant on the eyes, thank you!

Although now it's harder to glean what threads have new replies as they don't seem to go bold any more? I'll have to get used to just looking for the 'NEW' logo.

PaulV · « **Reply #23 on:** March 19, 2022, 02:17:07 pm »

I'd like to try out the dark mode too please. I've been trying the super dark mode extension, but it doesn't really work that well on RAWK.

They are bold with new replies, might be the change tricking you.

Thanks Claire

Its dark on mobile, still light on PC just with different formatting, is that right?

You might need to turn dark mode on in your pc settings, or maybe it's something in your profile settings (I've had Rawk Dark Mode for months so don't recall).

You can definitely get dark mode on pc.

I think it auto detects your OS settings, so if you have your mobile set to mode, RAWK will appear in dark mode, and on your PC if you have your WIndows (or whatever OS) set to light RAWK will appear in light mode.

I think Claire said that at some point anyway.

meady1981 · « **Reply #28 on:** March 20, 2022, 08:14:01 pm »

Claire I’m so sorry but the change has done something to my mobile version and the layout is all over all the place (desktop working perfect) so really hard to navigate. Could I get switched back? Again, massive apologies don’t want to mither you.

You can do it yourself I think (don't want to test as I might lose dark mode permanently).

Go to your profile then click these:

Sorted! Cheers Jason!

M4tt · « **Reply #31 on:** March 23, 2022, 06:50:06 pm »

Could I please get the dark theme? I've tried Jason's method but only have the default option available?

Thanks!

J-Mc- · « **Reply #32 on:** March 25, 2022, 05:07:28 pm »

Me to please, if it isn’t to much trouble.

Find myself having to lower the brightness right down anytime I want to view RAWK!

cheers mate, i reverted back too as it wasn't helping my eyesight as i assumed and was a bit glitchy on other laptops.

Malaysian Kopite · « **Reply #34 on:** March 29, 2022, 09:27:39 am »

Could I be added to dark mode too? I’m currently using an extension to make it more gray.

Thanks in advance!

PaulV · « **Reply #38 on:** March 30, 2022, 01:44:14 pm »

Thanks Claire. Looks great and much more comfortable for my eyes once I realised that to enable it, I had to set Windows 10 to dark mode too.

The only thing I would prefer changed is to increase the font size for quoted text, as currently, it is too small for me to read comfortably.

Claire. · « **Reply #39 on:** March 30, 2022, 03:58:06 pm »

I don't think I changed that but it was a bit small so gave it a little bump.
