You can now set up the SideFX forum to display using a dark theme.

To do this:
  1. Login to the site and go to your profile - mouse over your avatar and choose Manage Account
  2. Click on the Forum tab
  3. Choose from the Theme menu

Thanks, nice

Just couple of ideas/rfe:
- Could it be a bit more orange then yellow? To get better together with sidefx logo colors.

- Could you darken the “Reply to this topic” too (and Add Attachment)? Now it's white flash bang at the end of each page.

- Also that post counter under user icons doesn't look good in dark theme (they look bad in white theme too, like from different century.)

In addition to pezetko's suggestions, I feel the main text could be shifted closer to white, to contrast a little better against the bg.

Thanks!
I'm o.d.d.

I noticed there are a few parts that are more like the Houdini orange, and not the yellower color currently prevalent. Here is a screenshot. Hopefully the orange will make its way soon!

Keep up the good work, thanks guys!

Thank you so much for this.

I hate how the whole web is so white as if producing “light” is cheap and as if pure directed bright white lights is good for your eyes. I wish every website made an effort to offer alternatives like SideFX forum did.

Good job
