hello everybody,

We are ready to launch a new way to enjoy the ClubLexus 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 desktop 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 one of the first communities we're trying this out on we appreciate any feedback you're able to provide in this thread.

Please enable dark mode using the toggle at the upper right, and let us know your feedback!



Along with the theme, we're also including a new iconset with dark mode to highlight thread status:

 

it's a start, thanks, but (minor) i find the shades of gray/black to not be attractive and generally way too busy (see screen grab). but at least the ipad is no longer a light blow torch at night.

 

without all the white borders, shading made a bit more subtle...

 

fugly...


removed underlines on thread links and toned down lines/colors:

 

and dark mode doesn't have to mean no color.

i had to go back to light mode as dark mode right now is a mess.

see how there's no underlines on thread links on light mode:

 

I really like it and use it on my laptop wherever I can.
Thanks.

 

I find it to be perfect for me at least. Brightness strains my eyeballs so this is awesome, Love it!

 

I will use it if you can make unread threads highlighted, like it is in light mode. Actually, I see they are still highlighted, just can't be seen
as it is. Bitkahuna fixed it. Can you incorporate his changes? Thanks.

 

I'd like to do this. Is it difficult? Can you please explain how to do it? It would be usable if it looked like this. Thanks a lot!!

 

ha, the site code would need to be modified to make that change for you, but thanks for the change approval.
the good news is the changes are trivial for a css coder.

for some reason the dark style sheet codes links with underlines by default (unlike the regular 'light' stylesheet)
so here's that one fix:



removing most of the table white borders:


these simple changes can be found/explorered in chrome/edge inspector.

 

Thanks but this is beyond my skill level.

 

figured that, and you wouldn't be able to use it anyway, as i said, it would have to be coded into the site. was sharing for internet brands.

 

I hope it gets incorporated into the site or it is fixed in a usable manner. Thanks again.

 

@bitkahuna you have been seen, heard and understood. I don't have a timeline, but we are pushing to have your suggestions incorporated. We have had similar feedback from different communities, but you have put in BY FAR the most effort to help us understand what you would like to see. Thank you, very much!

 

Thanks Robb! I would love to use dark mode with improvements.
