Blackout is a theme that’s completely black.
It looks the best on OLED Monitors which have True Black.
I recommend using a dark color pallet. It will work with light ones, but there will be some bugs.
WARNING: This theme completely overrides all color pallets.
This theme is mostly made for OLED devices and phones and may not look right on display technologies which use backlights.

That’s an old screenshot. It’s what the sidebar user menu looked like, and I don’t think it looks like that anymore.

Is there no way to have that type of user menu/side bar back? I notice another discourse community does:
[https://community.wemod.com](https://community.wemod.com) - it looks like they are using a modified version of your theme

That isn’t my theme - this one was quite lazy, that one has nicer colors and acrylic blur.

I have an incredibly similar theme which would look the same if you tweaked the colors around.
