Which Neowin forum theme do you use?

Hello!

 

This is just a quick poll.

 

I'm only interested in your theme for the forum. The front page doesn't matter.

 

Cheers!

Default always, I find white text on a dark background is harsh on the eyes, gives me the eye version of screen burn if I have to read it for longer than a minute. D:

Darkside.

 

I'm always browsing at night, so it makes it easy on the eyes.

Darkside of course.

I require a larger sample size!

[Danielx64]

Darkside :)

Windows 10 seems to make thing brighter , I had to dim my monitor and always use dark themes.

[Ian W]

Darkside.

[The Evil Overlord]

DarkSide, but that's because I miss the old Pro theme

 

Hey Neobond, can we have that back now?

[+JHBrown Subscriber¹]

Darkside, on every device.

[He's Dead Jim]

Default here

I prefer the lighter color and text contrast. Was never really a fan of dark websites (neverminding my initial attempt at one in 1996)

Thank you, all!

 

Now, the next question: Who can edit my avatar so that the black background completely matches that of the dark side?

About three years ago (if not more), I stumbled upon f.lux. Before using it, I would sometimes get headaches when using my PC for extended periods of time, at night. The yellow hue it adds has been a great addition. That, in conjunction  with Darkside, is awesome. 

 

I used to let it automatically change between the default and Darkside, but I now find myself using Darkside at all times. Glad there's a Darkside for the forums too.

Maybe something like this? 

 

 

First one is a PNG with a solid background (which is close to the shade of grey), the second one is a transparent PNG.

Thanks a bunch, bro! It's exactly what I wanted!  My darkside theme is complete now!

F.lux is doing a wonderful job! Can't live without it since I've found out about it as well!

Darkside too. Otherwise switching from dark development environments to a bright white site is too painful. Of course maybe i shouldn't be on Neowin at work

[philcruicks]

Darkside for sure, default is too bright on the eyes, especially in the evening/night.

[Neyht Member]

I'm switching it to the day night option.

I'm switching too so it looks like both of us comprise a tiny minority here  

 

p.s. it only takes two clicks to switch. NOT HARD!!!

[+Eternal Tempest MVC]

Darkside (always on), find it easier to read / easier on my eyes.

[+John. Subscriber¹]

I use the day/night option

I wonder if the admins have the stats on members' theme preferences.
