    Personally, I use invert colors to reduce strain on my eyes. Though it would be appropriate I think on a SW forum to be able to select light mode or dark mode.

    Unless I'm mistaken, I believe there was a light or dark display option at some point here post The Move™ in '12, because I've got a vague memory of switching to the 'dark' option.

    A dark mode option is coming. It's one of the things I've been working on.

    It's not quite ready for prime time yet though. That being said, if you're like me and dark mode is an essential part of your life, the Dark Reader extension for Chrome/Firefox/Safari/Edge is great in most situations.

    I was about to ask if there is an open beta coming soon, but having an open beta of something like this is a fast-track ticket to an eternal beta. :p

    gotta say my avatar looks pretty snazzy in the dark-side mode,

    but I guess the real question is does it come with cookies?

    Yes, you were actually crucial to our progress. Every test was "Meh. Just looks like a dull photo negative" until we saw your avatar and then we immediately greenlit the project and added another zero to the research and development budget.

    If adding this feature will encourage you to post here more, we will certainly reevaluate our commitment to pursuing it.
