It hurts my eyes to open mal at night and have my desktop screen blind me for a couple of moments. I assume adding dark mode wouldn't be much of a bother, eh?


Have you also tried applying the blue light filter on your PC (night mode).

If you're on windows 10 you enable it by doing Setting>System>Display.

Or you can use f.lux for better control. That being said, a blue light filter is essential for PC and phones.

The current theme for "My Anime List" is a nostalgic "Mostly White With Blue Accents"

Would it be possible to add a button to switch the current / default theme to a "Light-On-Dark" theme?

I believe being able to switch to a "Light-On-Dark" or "Night Mode" theme would not only contribute to saving people money from their electricity bills and reducing phone battery usage, but also make the website easier to view for people with sensitive eyes or people that are looking at MAL's website in a dark environment with little or no lighting.

This could benefit people that work night shifts, people that are usually up late, or even people that are trying to be more economically frugal. Myself included.

If you happen to read all of my post, thank you for your time...

nice

But yeah, idk how true the electricity savings angle is, but reduced eyestrain is very nice.

To be fair, a night mode is standard on most modern sites and is usually found at the bottom or the top with the option to switch between the modes.

I second this. My eyesight is already bad and this with background doesn't help. Untill we get a an 'official' option, you can use https://userstyles.org/styles/browse/myanimelist .

probably wont happen anytime soon, so maybe you can try dark reader chrome extension for now
looks like this, works for other sites as well


THAT IS A GOD SEND

Dynamic mode is recommended, otherwise it will bug out some things.

Update: the extension breakes heavily customized lists. Spent an hour troubleshooting before discovering it.

Sadly, it seems we'll have to wait for a solution from the site's developers.

By the way this thread has been open for 7 years, why does it take so long to implement a simple color inversion on text and the white background while leaving the user list page untouched?

add myanimelist.net/animelist/ as an exception if you haven't already

On a second note... I found out about this stylish extension. It works perfectly and doesn't bug out.

Don't need to rely on the devs anymore.

Any update on this? I think the gen opinion of all users is pretty clear just from how long this thread has been kept active.

It would be real awesome since that's the primary upside to one of MAL's competitors, Anime-Planet

Some of us would REALLY like to spend more time getting our lists up-to-date -- but the EYES, bruh (-_-)

The dark theme is ''in consideration'' since 2013 so I don't think that the lazy MAL devs give a flying fuck about this topic. But I found this unofficial dark theme on Github.

@The_Squid

Thanks for the suggestion but I like to keep my browser ad-ons to an absolute min

I really don't understand why they're avoiding it and making folks choose btwn eye strain and wide-range adoption/incorporation

This is likely the main reason many of us have accounts on other Anime/Manga List sites

Most sites and apps are starting to give users the ability to turn on DarkMode.
I would like to suggest that MAL also implements this feature, It will certainly decrease the amount of the strain on some users eyes because the site is mainly plain white.

This was addressed in MAL's panel at Anime Expo. They said that this won't happen for a while. You should use a browser extension and a third-party dark theme.

It's 2020 and already near the end of it, and yet a big site as MAL can't even put out a DARK MODE option. WTH did MAL's Devs doing all this time?

It would be pretty cool to see a "Nightly Mode" for this site. The aesthetics of dark themes can be beautiful. :)
"I suffered all my life. No one ever truly loved me. No one ever truly cared about me. I only loved one thing in my whole life and that was Christina Menefee. But she was torn away from me. I tried to save myself with [student’s name], but she never cared for me. As it turns out, she made fun of me behind my back while we were together. And all throughout my life I was ridiculed. Always beaten, always hated. [...] I am malicious because I am miserable."

"It was not a cry for attention, it was not a cry for help. It was a scream in sheer agony [...]"

wow you saved my eyes dude, thanks. This is definitely better than nothing!

Guys I actually found that if you use Opera GX web browser and set it to automatically use dark themes on pages MAL actually appears in dark theme so feel free to try it.

I don't see how this is still a discussion after 7 years lmao. It's better to add a preference for the users and there's almost no downside. With that, it's highly requested.

Dark modes are a necessary option nowadays. Most apps/sites have this feature. It's there for a reason: high demand for it.

if developing dark mode is too resource intensive at least make the background grayer and not pure white, it's almost brighter than the sun.

I will give MAL the CSS codes for a dark MAL if they would just add a way to toggle over to it. I'm sure a lot of other people would be willing to help for free.

Seems like there's some reliable ways to do it

It's honestly ridiculous at this point... we MAL users have been asking for this for YEARS and it's still not here.. we're in freaking 2021 for godsake..

But yeah MAL is lacking a lot.. and I get that there's like an old/new system that is a delicate balance but this is just a tad bit idiotic

I always prefer The dark mode with sites or apps that allowed it. It would be nice if MAL had a Dark mode or something that isn't too bright.

I mean Dark Reader works on MAL, but it is always better to have a dedicated darkmode instead of something forced from the outside and one might think that 8+ years in consideration might have been enough...
