 |
| Now I won't be scared to open MAL at night. :D |
| YOOOO. I can't believe it's actually happened. This is great |
 |
| This is the biggest update that we’ve all been waiting for. Looks awesome! |

| Now you need to make corrections to all styles, since the dark theme breaks them a little. I had to add this to my style .dark-mode {background-color: transparent;} |
Shin18 said: Nice to see a dark theme, though maybe this is a bit too dark as others said above tomasowa said: To be fair, from the standpoint of using an extension to get the same thing done, i.e. Dark Background and Light Text, this dark mode does not seem to be on par with said extension's approach. The fundamental problem with applying any sort of dark mode is contrast. For those who were stuck with the original white-on-black, this might seem a temporary step up. But even for them, it should be obvious that a black background is darker overall than white, which means the user's eyes are opening up much more than when using white. This is the same reason why bad sunglasses actually hurt eyes more than not wearing. When this happens and there are large sections of white, it affects how contrast is perceived and makes the composition unbearable for long periods. On the front page, this is felt in the MyAnimeList logo which is now a large white chunk. In the forum pages, this is felt in every user's signature that uses large chunks of white, either in their fonts or animated GIFs. In the aforementioned extension, the dark mode created was a dark grey overall and the colour of fonts were not changed. That way the contrast between values is not as harsh to the much-more-open eyeballs this almost-black mode presents ... Agreed the white on black is a bit rough on the eyes- my extension is made to have a greyish white on dark grey so you can use that as an alternative (I will still maintain it as I use it) https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/myanimelist-dark-mode/ifdccgjiicdiaghhigodkknhmcjlpdcc?hl=en&authuser=0 Got some alternatives for Firefox and Stylus users which have a bit more options: https://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=2072574 Example:  @kineta highly recommend MAL adds an alternate color mode with a dark grey background similar to mine above and Dark Reader. The white on black is a lil uncomfortable for other users as they said. Also the update broke a lot of lists backgrounds, I found the reason and will let you know about in case y'all want to do some fixes on your end |

Larom said: I think this update might have broke my list. Can't see any images. Works fine on mobile. Checked on a different PC too, same thing. I can see your images on your list atm. But I've seen other layouts with the broken images and I know the fix, I will mass message our group later if you are a member there you get the notification. You could let us know there what layout is broken and how, screenshot etc I will probably not see your reply in this thread it's too active and my notifications are off https://myanimelist.net/forum/?clubid=19736 And it requires a manual change, so if MAL fixes it then you'd need to revert the manual change lol, so I want to see if MAL will repair it on their end first and it may be best to wait |
| I use dark theme everywhere, but I got so used to MALs light theme that this now looks too weird. |
| The only thing for me is that the blue numbers on the affinity pages are too dark |

I had to add this to my style .dark-mode {background-color: transparent;}Hmm thanks for letting us know about this fix, I haven't seen what layouts that fixes but I'll let our group know this could help. That doesn't fix some other layout errors which came out since the update unfortunately, so I guess there's multiple errors lmao |
| It's pretty, thank you everyone, who has bee working on this! 。゜゜(´Ｏ`) ゜゜。 |

That doesn't fix some other layout errors which came out since the update unfortunately, so I guess there's multiple errors lmao I wonder why it affects yours but not others, and then other layouts have a completely different error. Dark mode must add a layer over some backgrounds and then other layouts override the layer but were affected by another bug with body and data query, that one is easily fixed manually tho and sounds like yours is too |
I literally came back from the dead for this. |
 |
| finally its been years and now its finally here |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| oh my god no more screen flash bangs! my eyes can heal! |
My Candys!  |
| Kitaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!! Grateful for this option. MAL background is bright enough to light the whole room sometimes 😂 This will be handy for dark rooms/late night browsing.  |
Respectfully ofc |
| Woah it sure took a while. I'm actually happy about the shade, I've seen websites use pure black for background and it was painful, MAL's dark theme is fine. |
| had to use the stylus addon for this glad you guys added dark mode lol |
 |
| Finally!? Something rests my eyes from the brightness. Thank you. Now the "YMP3 BB Code". When? No one knows I asked for this since 2011. |
 |
| If the main stuff was the color of the drop downs I think it'd be optimal. Heck just use the Discord color palette. As it is it's a bit too dark for me so I'm going to stick with the light version. But neat. |

Shishio-kun said: In my new style, the error was here because the background color was not set.MurakumoJP said: Well, so far I've only found this bug that broke my styles, so yes there may be others I wonder why it affects yours but not others, and then other layouts have a completely different error. Dark mode must add a layer over some backgrounds and then other layouts override the layer but were affected by another bug with body and data query, that one is easily fixed manually tho and sounds like yours is too when the dark mode was applied, the background was simply gone.  In the old style, the error was already here, since the block was shifted, a gray stripe appeared behind it. Before the dark theme  After the dark theme  In this case, it helped me to remove the background of the dark theme |
| Ok this is an awful update. I'm using light mode and for my manga list I have a dark background. However this update makes the backround light despite having it set as black. Please fix this ASAP. |
| sheeeeeshhhh lezgooo |
 |
| HOORAY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! |
 |
| Thank you so much!!!! Great Update |

| WOOOOO FINALLY!!!! THANK YOU!!!! now i can delete all the chrome extensions i had dedicated to running user-made dark mode scripts |
  placeholder text |
| Huge thanks! Now I can finally edit my entries without getting flashbanged in my room. |
| Let's gooo!!! |

| I thought I was having a stroke when I logged on and saw it wasn't white as snow. Thank you for doing this! So much easier on the eyes. |
