Now I get to say "Only real mal users know what it's like to have light as default theme before dark theme was added". (╥﹏╥)

It's too dark, the contrast is a pain in the eyes especially for the forums & profiles. I use dark mode for almost every website/app but I'll stick to light mode for now. Fingers crossed it improves , maybe I'll just give one of those custom scripts a try

Automatic:

  • If you have Dark Theme enabled in your System Settings (e.g. Windows 10 or Windows 11), then the site should already be in dark theme!

Manual:

  • You can also select Dark (or Light) Mode in your User Preferences.
  • This information will be saved to your account and be applied on any desktop device you login to.

For the love of god, please make a toggle so that people not logged in can switch between themes. My system settings is dark because that is my preference for almost every other site
Also, if someone's user preference is dark & their system setting is light, they'll get a nice flashbang whenever they log out

There is more to the art of dark mode than just making things black and white and keeping other colours the same. Not quite the worst implementation of dark mode I've seen but certainly bad enough that I'll actually be switching BACK to light mode despite the fact that practically every other app and website that has the option I choose to use dark mode. 

Furthermore, it's buggy on my browser (Safari 16.3 (18614.4.6.1.6) on MacOS Ventura 13.2.1 (22D68)). The home page has white sides with just the centre panel in dark mode - this seems to only affect the home page - every other page seems fine. Also, when using quick add or edit on the list pages, the pop-up window is not in dark mode.

Hoping that it improves.

I have the same thing, using Firefox on Windows. It's not a big deal, but I notice the light vertical bars are only there when I'm logged in. I sign out and the full home page is black. Not sure if there's a setting I'm missing or...?

That's not a bug, it's a design oversight. They didn't integrate the dark theme into the ads on the site including the sponsored top banner which also goes down the page sides. The white boxes may be a bug or oversight though, i had made a thread reporting that and no one addressed it yet. I also appear to have a bug where dropdown boxes are the wrong colour looking at the pic in the OP. For me its grey with white text, barely legible. I will be reporting it later.

I think it should change colors without reloading. Very minor task but is pretty much in line with other sites with dark mode.

PCs and phones can change to dark mode along with sunset time. Apps changes along them too, including web browsers. Websites changes with the browser. So MAL website changing automatically without reloading will be fantastic and in line with other sites.

Well thanks. Forcing Dark Mode on users who don't want it and don't want to login every single time they want to do a quick search. I just don't understand developers.

Thanks. Much better than Chrome's dark mode.

I agree with a lot of your comments that the dark mode is too dark, and also that the home page still had too far much brightness. In fact they made the home page a bit more dark recently but it's still uncomfortable with bright spots lol. Please try my dark mode extension Comfortable Dark Mode if you want an alternative, as I've addressed a lot of those issues with it:

https://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=2072574

As the name implies, the colors are much more comfortable to read with and I've also removed bloat from the site. Plus it darkens the Fantasy Anime League and Mal X Japan which MAL dark mode doesn't darken atm. And finally to make using the site easier to use and read, I added these features:

Status colors added to Top Anime and Search pages
Always see reviewer scores
Reviews can be darkened
Tool Tips clearer and clickable

You can leave me a message in that thread I linked if you are using it and would like some kind of update or you need me to darken something I missed- the change will be sent automatically to the extension.

Sorry for this late reply as well but I've been working on this extension and darkening CSS quite a bit since MAL dropped their own dark mode.

I'm sure someone's complained about this, but the visibility of the notifications has issues.
The checkmarks are also in dark colors.
