Why do sites need to "release" dark mode? Everybody can change their user css easily, and put whatever text/background colors they want. The problem is that the css of most sites is an humongous monstrosity and does not cope well with a couple of simple changes (which was precisely the purpose behind the design of CSS!)
- Sodman 6y agoWhy do sites need to "release" front-ends? Everybody can write javascript clients to send GETs and POSTs to any company's back-end server! Making it a single button that enables a different theme that a professional designer somewhere has signed off on is a much better user experience for almost everybody when compared to the "write your own CSS" option. Even if you automate it with a browser extension, you're still giving that extension read+write access to the site, hopefully it's trustworthy!
- jackson1442 6y agoI love using dark themes, however all of the ones I found online have their own deficits and broke whenever GitHub pushed an update. I have no interest in designing my own as I have a terrible eye for design and am equally terrible at visualizing changes, making the process take forever. If I can click a button and make dark theme work, that's fantastic.
