Hi everyone
While testing a new forum I have setup using Discourse, one of my beta testers said it would be neat if the forum has a night mode switch for mobile devices which could reverse the scheme or switch to a darker color scheme easier on the eyes.

I did find a post in support about a night theme but it seems it requires messing with or adding code which I’d prefer staying away from and rather see something like this in the core.
Here’s hoping.

This is basically in instantiation of this feature request:

> Continuing the discussion from [What about an easier styling/theming system?](https://meta.discourse.org/t/what-about-an-easier-styling-theming-system/12346): Will your theming system support showing different themes for different users? I’m not talking about completely different themes with HTML and JS changes. But it occurred to me that it could be rather nice to let users pick between a Light vs a Dark theme on our forum, provided we’ve made our theme to support that feature of course, because that shouldn’t be a given for every Discourse theme. Example from Tweetdeck: …

Thank Felix and nice to meet you, I did a search before posting but did not find that one. Yes indeed pretty much exactly what my user suggested.

Well, sometimes having read more than 80k posts here on Meta has to pay off 😉

Thanks @rriemann Apple has done similar in iOS so probably best to just leave it to the OS to handle that. Thanks 😉
