As part of our 1.4 release efforts, we need to make 100% sure dark themes work well out of box in Discourse.

The best way to make that happen is to **bring the darkness** here to meta. Darkness, everybody! Darkness is spreading!

We’ll be turning on a dark theme here on meta in the next day or two to help us test.

Don’t worry, this is not a permanent change. We’ll switch back to default after we’re sure dark themes work in all places uniformly.

I really love dark themes, and heavily use it on my devices (all amoled).

Curious about Discourse Dark Theme!

It’s not a dark “theme” it is just editing Admin, Customize, Colors.
