We have been offering two styles for several years now, the default "light style" and a "dark style" (toggle in the top menu bar on the right and the footer).





In the past few days, I have worked on revamping the dark style (it still needs some love); I'm now contemplating whether we should make it the new default style.

I would appreciate it if you could answer the following questions:

1. Which style are you using?
2. Why?
3. Is there anything we can improve?

Thank you!

1) Dark
2) Easier on the eyes
3) Its been working well for me. I can't think of anything specific that looks broken or wrong.

Hopefully I won't be labeled racist , I'm sticking with the "white" version.

This is strictly technical. Please participate in the poll, too.

I prefer dark too although there are some issues with visibility when you try to add colors.

There are still a few style properties that need to be taken care of, like input forms. And perhaps link colours.

I use the light style, never knew that there was some alternative. On a mac, the other version looks like "dark mode". Tho it's been available for a while, I never use that either.
