Kind of sad how rare it is to see applications actually honor the OS's user-chosen color and font preferences--especially on the web. Ideally you shouldn't even have to "set this up." We had OS-wide color themes as far back as Windows 3.1, probably even earlier. Remember "Hot Dog Stand?" You just tell the OS what set of colors and fonts you wanted all the windows to use, and all but a handful of badly-behaving applications would automatically conform. For whatever reason, this automatic behavior is getting less and less common--the badly behaving applications that hard-code their color scheme or require an application-specific theme system are becoming the norm. The concept never seemed to make it over to the web, either. I can set up my preferences to be "light blue backgrounds, dark blue title bars, and purple serif fonts" yet HN still shows up black-on-beige with an orange header. I'm not a web developer, so maybe this is a Hard Problem but it's always kind of irked me.
I like to use dark mode in a lot of apps and sites like Slack, Chrome, Gmail, Product Hunt, Medium etc. and I tried to find a list of where I could find the dark mode for some other apps with an instruction how to turn it on, and I couldn’t.<p>So I decided to build my own.<p>Let me know your feedback or maybe suggest some of your favorite apps that you are using in the dark mode and, HN :)
How dare you miss Emacs? The mostest, the beautifulest piece of undisclosed source, the end and the beginning, truth and lie, the life of innumerable generations of infinite iteration cycles, everything in a neat and cosy text operating system.
FireFox Developer Edition Dev Tools comes in dark mode by default.<p><a href="https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/developer/" rel="nofollow">https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/developer/</a>
Well, every text editor with theme support obviously applies, but there’s a neat Emacs package called “circadian” that I recently discovered, which automates theme switching by time or even geographically based sunrise/sunset.<p><a href="https://github.com/guidoschmidt/circadian.el" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/guidoschmidt/circadian.el</a>
DDG has a dark theme[0].<p>Also a project I open sourced a few weeks ago uses a default dark theme[1] (:<p>Tangent - Firefox mobile recently added a “Night Mode”[2] that seems to just invert the colors of a site. It has an odd effect on things already in night mode, hah[3].<p>[0] <a href="https://duckduckgo.com/settings#theme" rel="nofollow">https://duckduckgo.com/settings#theme</a><p>[1] <a href="https://github.com/cdubz/babybuddy" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/cdubz/babybuddy</a><p>[2] <a href="https://blog.mozilla.org/blog/2017/07/20/firefox-ios-offers-new-improved-browsing-experience-tabs-night-mode-qr-code-reader/" rel="nofollow">https://blog.mozilla.org/blog/2017/07/20/firefox-ios-offers-...</a><p>[3] <a href="https://imgur.com/a/xhImR" rel="nofollow">https://imgur.com/a/xhImR</a>
Hm… it's Friday evening, i'm having a headache… but challenge accepted!<p>Let's see how long will it take me to make a dark mode for <a href="https://cryptojobslist.com" rel="nofollow">https://cryptojobslist.com</a><p>Started!
The Old Reader - Has a Firefox Dark mode extension
<a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/the-old-reader-dark/" rel="nofollow">https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/the-old-reade...</a><p>Scrivener - Can be styled to have a dark mode and the newest releases for iOS have one you can select.<p>Sabnzbd - Has a night mode for their web interface<p>Boostnote - Has a variety of themes. Great for markdown notes and coding notes.<p>SumatraPDF - Allows customization of the color scheme in the Advanced options section. Requires knowledge of HTML colors
I used this <a href="https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/dark-void-minimalistic-bl/clkkkcoibikhfhbjaafkinjmmjfbcnal" rel="nofollow">https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/dark-void-minimali...</a> for making chrome theme black. It added a chrome extension.<p>Now I can't find the extension in my chrome://extensions. Anyone else facing this?
A couple years ago I gave up on looking for app support and started using "invert colors" (under accessibility settings) so the whole screen is always inverted.<p>No special app support required. I only switch when I'm watching a video, and that's my internal reminder that I'm probably not doing something productive.
I don't think sites that can be modified with dark userstyles should be listed as "supporting dark mode" - that's misleading. Dark userstyles are not reliable since they break easily when those sites get updated.
Regular expressions tester and cheat sheet Regex101 has a dark mode theme you can choose in the settings.<p><a href="https://regex101.com/settings" rel="nofollow">https://regex101.com/settings</a>
It's crude but for when I want it to be dark and the app doesn't support it I have 'xcalib -invert -alter' mapped to a keyboard shortcut so I can toggle display inversion on/off
<a href="https://crontab.guru" rel="nofollow">https://crontab.guru</a> is dark by default, although there is no light mode so I’m not sure if it counts?
