Lightbulb Desktop Dark Mode *Beta* is Here!

hello everybody,

We are super excited to launch a new way to enjoy the Ford-Trucks community from your desktop/iPad devices!

It's still a beta, but beginning today if you're logged in and visiting the Community from your iPad/desktop device, you can now choose a dark mode theme in addition to the standard 'bright' theme we've always had 😎

We are looking to you for feedback about the experience. Being that you are the very first community we're trying this out on we appreciate any feedback you're able to provide.

Please enable dark mode using the toggle at the upper right, and let us know your feedback in this thread.


cheers,
robb

The thread marking icons could use some contrast so they don't blend in so much, the locked, unlocked, new posts those markers. Perhaps also some contrasting colors in the outlines, rather than what appears to be grey scale. Everything looks sort of like a photo negative. The dark back ground is much better than that blinding white, that much is certain.

Last test.... figured it out. I'm an idiot lol, no need to change from one to the other for sig font color to stick. Just need to make sure when you highlight all text to change color at once that it doesn't drop down several lines causing a "Too many lines in sig" error.
