Dark Mode for GTP

[TJ13]

We're coming up 43 days until 2020 has been 3/4ths done.
Any idea on when site update will happen?
Besides the "Soon" part?

We need something to fill the void since SPA is now in GT Sport.

There have been a lot of setbacks, both personal and technical.

Since the pandemic started, my time available to work has been limited significantly. The core forum software also recently announced a major new update, the underlying changes of which render a signifiant portion of my work from earlier this year obsolete. Until I could get a beta version of the new software to work with, I basically had to stop development to keep from wasting more time.

I do have a beta version now. I don't know how much longer it will take until I dig into the code and see how extensive the changes are.

I want.

Jeez let the man work. He literally explained personal issues as well as being limited because of pandemic and you just basically ignored it all. Seems extremely selfish.

A new year, a new reminder...



This site with the white background is hurting my eyes...

Please help by making it more comfortable for my eyes to surf this otherwise awesome forum if it had a dark mode...

 

[TJ13]

New Quarter reminder.

Hopefully in a few months it'll turn dark.
And with Christmas lights on.

I feel like we need a Kickstarter for Dark Mode. I'd contribute a little bit

It would be going a lot faster if someone hadn't hard-coded the text color of 71,000+ posts in "indigo", but I digress...

Bulk search-replace. We get to vote on the colour

Yes, the next site update will feature a “dark mode”.

Seems like it's already updated because this is an old reply, meaning that this site is already updated. So is it already available? I can't find the settings menu here on GTplanet

No, it's not available yet. "Dark mode" is just one part of a major site update, so you'll know when it arrives.

What's the other parts?
Like all year Christmas Lights?
Random Carey'd links?

Gradient Text Generator?
RGB Text might be a thing that comes to GTP?

He likes shades of Purple, so I vote for Ultraviolet. That way none of us will have to read it ever again

10,000 was my goal from the beginning. Just a few more years to go!

@TJ13 in the meantime you can:

• Use a browser extension (Dark Mode for Chrome)
• Set Chrome to Dark Mode in Windows 10 Personalization settings.

Only issue is these extensions are not the best.

I was going to make a Stylish skin for GTP, but decided not to since jordan said it was coming.

Yea I know :/

I can deal with the odd text color here and there, but the white flash during each page refresh is the most jarring aspect.

Like I said, these are only a temporary thing. I don't mind waiting and I rarely use GTP at night so for now the lack of a dark mode doesn't bother me too much.

Aside from dark mode, are they any other features that you can reveal will be part of the update. Or is it all super duper top secret?

I just don't want to set up expectations for things that might not make it or be completely ready in time for the new site roll-out, so I won't share the full new feature list until the update is complete. Dark mode is definitely happening, though.

Okay, thanks for answering. I'll be waiting.

Can one test the beta version of the site?

No, only a few other developers with software that integrates with GTP have access to the beta/staging site.

Handling access permissions for more people would only make the whole process take longer, and surely you don't want that.

How about a monthly update?
Progress report?
How many more indigo posts still need to be converted?
