Dark Theme for Support page

Glitch Feature Ideas
1

Hello,

I would love to see a dark theme for the support site of glitch, I would use something like stylebot but that never works correctly.

Hey @Callum-OKane, I love the idea but unfortunately, I don’t know if it is possible since the support page uses a template from another place. (I might be wrong)

It’s fully possible, many other forums that use Discourse can achieve a dark theme by changing some settings (i dont know a lot about discourse).

I mean its not offical but you can use https://darkreader.org/ (works on every website)

@Callum-OKane This forum is running Discourse, which unfortunately doesn’t come with a built-in dark theme. Although as suggested by @WilsontheWolf you can use Dark Reader. Another alternate is using Stylus which is a fork of Stylish. I recommend either Dark Reader or Stylus, and I would not recommend using Stylish hence they’re collecting analytics information on how you browse etc.

Yes, I have my own discourse running and I have noticed that dark theme is provided but glitch have most likely disabled it!

By the time I posted that message a dark mode for Discourse had not been implemented, although it seems that they recently created a dark theme feature. The reason that a dark mode for Glitch’s Discourse page is probably that it is outdated or the feature is disabled.

and yes, me and @khalby786 have created a dark mode that is usable via userscript extensions

@ihack2712, @Callum-OKane,

Just discovered that Discourse does offer dark mode. But for it, they’ll have to update it to Discourse 2.1or more.

I believe you can migrate all forum data.

yes, but it can be costly, if not done right, the entire forum will be wiped for sure

Might be something to suggest to the Support Staff!

The support forum is hosted by Discourse. (glitch pays discourse to host this forum) This means Glitch should easily be able to migrate to a new version. unless discourse says no

Yeah, I’m sure they can work together to make it happen pretty easily.

not exactly… if you know how discourse works,
***any data lost, is lost, and discourse really won’t care, especcially if it is during a forum updating to a new version ***`
