Dark mode for the forum

[tradgrad]

There's a lot of white space here on the forum pages. It would be really great to have a native dark mode option, especially with the blinding new company color. (Even if the mode switch wouldn't change the color, it would still be much less jarring with a darker background.)

(Yes, there are ways to force dark mode on sites at the browser level, but this hacky solution often results in improper displays, including invisible aspects of pages. There's a reason so many sites offer this functionality natively.)

NinjaTrader_Emily thank you for submitting the request, but given this is something regarding the NT website itself (this forum) and not the NT trading platform, would this really be included in the release notes you linked?

I sure hope that if NinjaTrader does this (allocates developer resources to making a "dark mode" for the web-based community forum) and if the task takes more than an hour of anyone's time, the task is allocated to a developer incapable of doing anything productive on NinjaTrader Desktop. There are a lot of things we really need in the flagship desktop product, and making the web-based community forum different colors is ... not a need.

There are a multitude of vBulletin dark themes available: https://www.google.com/search?q=vbulletin+dark+theme

I think rub would be not changing it for everyone but making it adjustable (different theme) by user. I don't think that's an inherent capability vBulletin has.
