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.

@darkpixlz how to make the user settings like this:

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

5

Is there no way to have that type of user menu/side bar back? I notice another discourse community does:

https://community.wemod.com - it looks like they are using a modified version of your theme

@darkpixlz

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

7

Could you make something like that for paid work? @darkpixlz

8

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

9

When I try importing this one, and use the default options the theme appears broken

Share a screenshot on that thread and I may be able to investigate
