Yes, many thanks. This is way easier on my eyes.

Hamburger menu switch is also an easy add: https://meta.discourse.org/t/hamburger-theme-selector/61210?u=mikechristopher

(I run a Discourse community for my dayjob, so always happy to help if need be!)

by inverted, do you mean compared to the new dark background? the lines logo clashes badly with the new theme. here’s what i see on desktop firefox, and it’s displayed the same way on mobile chrome:

lineslogo1

lineslogo2

possible solution: offer an alternate logo in the dark theme stylesheet. would require creating a new graphic. or just switch to a single transparent svg/transparent png used in both themes, though that would be a light gray on dark gray for this dark theme. probably better to just do a second inverted-color logo from the beginning.

@laborcamp made some great logos.

can anyone volunteer to create transparent-background pngs of the correct size (matching the existing)? note there is a 8 line and 4 line version

bonus, favicon !!

:raised_hand: I’ll give this a shot!

Here are two logos that are higher resolution but should be of the same proportion as the original. These ones are transparent as well so they should be able to work with the darker theme.

Here are two lower resolution ones if that will work better. ( I don’t know if discord has a max resolution for the icons)

Ah the nerdiest design thread. Love it. If you do use stylish / user styles, I created a few small css tweaks to get the thread update bubbles (blue circles) looking better, and to shift away from the orange ‘view count’ numbers.

As a dark theme addict, I switched immediately, but I’m having second thoughts. Before, lines was the Good Place and twitter was the Bad Place, and now they look the same. Not sure how I feel about this.

Regardless, it looks great, thanks everyone involved!

I agree w/ this on a psychological level. But the eye strain…

is it a discourse feature to switch between themes based on MacOS 10.14 light/dark mode?

#34

I noticed—and this probably means I have some mild astigmatism—that I preferred the dark theme for having Lines open on my screen in the evening, but for reading longer posts I found my eyes wandering more readily in the dark theme.

Regardless, cheers to everyone for making this possible!
