These are few examples of themes to take into consideration, at least most reading apps have these options and now even operating systems, desktop apps, and mobile apps have them.
The following examples are from the Firefox Reader View:
Gabriel’s 3rd image, white text on a very dark grey (possibly even black for more contrast) background, is exactly what I was envisioning in my earlier request.
It doesn’t have to be default, but the option would be great.
It would be lovely if you could adapt my favourite Vim theme, gruvbox, which provides both dark and light options with hard, medium, or soft contrast (I personally prefer high contrast for dark and medium contrast for light). In the GitHub repo I linked above, you can find the full palette and Vim code, which should make adapting it easier.
Thanks a million for considering a Dark Theme. I love the new Runbox web interface, but due to light sensitivity I have not yet been able to use it (browser dark theme plug-ins don’t seem to work either). Looking forward to when this feature rolls out.
We are using Angular Material which have great support for theme selection - so it’s actually not very difficult to implement with our current setup.
See https://material.angular.io/ for an example of how we are going to implement it (click the theme selection in the top right before the github logo). We will of course have our own colors.
Now you’re talking!!! I love Purple!! However, only as a theme, not a background. I’d be concerned about my eyes more than now, but then after awhile the white gets to me too. I’d definitely test the purple!
Theming is something that we will look at in the future. At the moment we are still working on features and trying to make the interface more consistent across browsers so that everyone gets a good experience. We won’t forget about theming because it’s something that I’m quite keen on myself as a topic
I wanted to share that for some (mysterious) reason, my chrome on chromebook turned the white background to black in both login and webmail…except the email list itself that still white: the folder tree on left & email previous on right are both black background.
Well, I have to say it do the job very well, I would say it does not need anymore tuning
edit: I found the root cause: I had the flag chrome://flags/#enable-force-dark enabled in chrome (I did it on an other device a while ago, it seems the chromebook somewhat sync this settings)
Dear Runbox team…would it be hard to make the email list the same way as other menus so this chrome flag would turn it dark too ? it may be a kind work around while waiting for proper implementation of themes.
Just wanted to add my +1 to dark theme. However, I see it has been years since it was first talked about (first post is from october, 2018) so I wonder whether we should expect it to come to Runbox 7, ever.
Anyway, I noticed an increase in the use of “dark modes” in several apps, webs and so on during the last few years, so I hope it will still come at some point.
