This. ^

I already kinda made my point But its obvious most of us Users are using MAL from Dark places (Like caves, basements, and other weeb encampments and colonies) So it actually kinda makes sense to have a duller or a darker theme ...

I mean, bright colors in dark lighting is kinda bad for the eyes as if our eyes arent spoiled alrdy Ayy lmao.

A dark theme would be awesome, especially for those of us that like to use MAL at night.

I would love a theme where the whole site was black with light text. It's so much easier on the eyes.

I'm afraid that theme is useless to me, because it still contains black text on white backgrounds, whereas I prefer white text on black backgrounds, because it's easier for me to read.

It's annoying to see the white color at late night hours. It would be nice to see a darker color for MAL website as well, maybe a form of switch between colors depending on the timezone? Even so it would be perfect just being able to do what you propose.

Even though i have a Stylish skin for MAL that is dark plus my waifu (Kurumi) i will +1 for dark themes officially on here for the sole fact that i also hate bright colors and it hurts my eyes, especially in dark rooms/at night time not to mention dark colors are much better in my opinion as they are more aesthetically pleasing and entertaining.

but it doesn't change anything for you as it will be optional. Its only one theme we have now. i'd ubderstand if we were asking for a permanent change and u'd disagree but its optional and will no affect on you so I don't get it lol

If you want to implement an offical theme into the site (like ... making it so you wouldn't need 3rd party software/external scripts) then make your to keep the default them. (I - and a lot of other people - hate changes.)

And make a setting in the profile so logged in users (or maybe a cookie that remembers it so it will be also possible without being logged in) can change the setting manually if they want it. (Without forcing anybody to change it or needing to change it back.)

As long as you keep this in mind I'm okay and not against the suggestion.

Not bad, and it is a little brighter than Zealotus night theme (which I find too dark for my taste).

As I stated before, I use custom themes for desktop but I would preferan official one because it'll be official, you know? Its just better and feels....cleaner? Sounds weird I know but Id prefer it being official. Saves me having to search and reinstall em whenever I reinstall Chrome (it slows down eventually so that's why).

I use these 2 themes together:

Dark/Night MyAnimeList:

Yeah I'm not asking for a permanent and forceful change, its something that every user should be able to choose to use. Like other forums would have the option at the bottom of the page as a drop down menu, just pick and it'll apply it and will only apply for you.

Yo.

I'd suggest adding a switch kinda thing to switch the default white background to a darker theme.
I know there are some other themes for the site, but maybe everyone's computers ain't too good and they avoid running extra stuff on Chrome to hinder its performance.

Being someone trying to preserve my eyes as I'm around the web a lot, I think about this kinda stuff and the choice to change to better option instead of the default white "lazer" theme in the evening would benefit a lot of people.

All the best~
You nailed it Yeah a lot of people don't have high quality pc including myself lol that would be really great thing to add the dark theme

I also recommend Dark Reader for Chrome. I have sensitive eyes and it makes every page dark. And for pages that are normally dark, you can set specific exceptions to make them stay dark. Also try f.lux if you haven't, software that softens the colors of a screen.

You're still going around with my siggy don't you!!!

Back to the context, I'd like to have a dark-theme as well, or maybe reading mode or something. Not for the looks, my eyes at night are what I care actually. True that the mods posted a link for the theme, but it's a bit troublesome having to install those browser extensions...

This suggested many times by me and others but since you can do that with an add-on they don't want to do it. Or at least that is what I understand. Although I prefer an official way to do it since add-on has bugs.

Certain websites and applications are dark or have the ability to toggle a dark mode (YouTube, Discord, etc.). It's easier on the eyes, especially when you're using it for a long period of time. I'm on MAL a lot, and the stark white background makes my eyes hurt after a while. I'm suggesting a dark mode that can be toggled on and off. I know nothing about web design, so I don't know how difficult this would be to implement. Nevertheless, it would be a much appreciated feature.
