hello everybody,
We are ready to launch a new way to enjoy the AZ community from your desktop/iPad devices!
It's still a beta, but beginning today if you're logged in and visiting the Community from your iPad/desktop device, you can now choose a desktop dark mode theme in addition to the standard 'bright' theme we've always had![Too Cool](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/toocool.gif)
We are looking to you for feedback about the experience. Being that you are one of the first communities we're trying this out on we appreciate any feedback you're able to provide in this thread.
Please enable dark mode using the toggle at the upper right, and let us know your feedback!
Along with the theme, we're also including a new iconset with dark mode to highlight thread status:

Could use a bit of different contrast between background & text, the light gray text on dark gray background isn't as easy to read as white on gray.

Dark mode on an Expedition forum I'm on. Much easier to read

Dark Reader extension looks better imo

I like it, but I do agree there could be some more contrast. A lighter shade of grey perhaps. Something in between the grey now and white. Overall, I'm very pleased. I run everything in dark mode if there is the availability for it.

Much improved & easier to read ![Thumbs Up](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/thumbsup.gif)
Going to use it for a bit
Edit: Back to light mode. Some text hard to read when not default.

that's because it was copied as black text and pasted into the editor without removing the formatting. we're still trying to figure that out.
