Why is the New Forum UI so Dark?

Look, despite all the memes about light mode, I really liked the bright UI of the old forum, the dark UI and that WT background just hurts my eyes. Is there any plans to have a “light mode” for the new UI?

Some also like dark mode like me, It’s best we have an option to disable light mode or enable it.

Bruh the demo forum on the Discourse site has a “light mode” and even other backgrounds

shouldn’t all these features be on by default?

It looks like “WarThunder” Style, I think.

War Thunder style doesn’t have to be low contrast and hurt my eyes :cri:

The theme is a similar design to our website and also how the in-game looks. That’s why.

Yeah, an option would be nice, I generally prefer a light mode, and just for accessability options, there should be a choice

I think this is easier to read then black on white. Probably because I work at night and in low light, and I always play in a darker setting. But having the option to change it would help out a lot of people as well.

we need a light mode for those that wish to have one and also something in between.
I am a dark mode person but I even find this straining on my eyes.
could we get something similar to the steam forum colours. I find the contrast a lot more apealling then this.

damn sorry made a few mistakes and had to delete, can not edit just yet.

is it possible the forums theme could be the same blue that you post is.
much easier to read.
I would be very grateful if you could pass this on.
please and thank you.

I may just make my own topic with a poll once I can to see how much support there is for this.

I guess it is, but the normal site also has blocks of bright art to contrast the colour and the annoying background disappears if you scroll down enough. But even so you don’t need the forums and site to be the same colour, at least implement a light mode for accessibility’s sake.

I like the darkmode but an option would be nice. There is a reason why basically everything else has an option to choose between light and dark.

Dark UI isnt bad but its the transparent background which is the main issue

Gaijin is the Dark side Obeewan

Poggers, there is now a light mode.

Hmm, forum contrast is still a bit odd imo, I think they should darken the UI outline and font for light mode too.
