[Release] Stylish Dark Theme for Ulysses Forums
« on: February 13, 2016, 11:58:19 AM »
    I'm sure many of you already know about a little plugin for web browsers called Stylish - by UserStyles. I recently became aware of this and I was delighted to see how many of my favorite websites had dark themes for them (because who doesn't like dark). If you don't know, Stylish is a plugin that allows users to apply a theme to a website to look more appealing to them. I was a little surprised when I found that there were no Stylish themes for Ulysses Forums, and I don't really like websites being bright, so I decided to make a Stylish theme for Ulysses Forums. Originally it was just for personal use, but I figured other people may like it, too. So I bring to you today Ulysses Forums Dark Theme (who needs a creative name?) The main background color is a dark grey, and the main word colors are orange, cyan/blue, and light grey.

Installation:
To install this style you must first install Stylish - By UserStyles
    Google Chrome: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/stylish/fjnbnpbmkenffdnngjfgmeleoegfcffe?hl=fr
    Mozilla Firefox: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/stylish/

Once you have installed Stylish, you can install this theme: https://userstyles.org/styles/124276/ulysses-forums-dark-theme

I hope you guys enjoy, and I also highly encourage others to make their own styles as well. A good tutorial for doing so is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XdwrFJ6crgw&ab_channel=DestructiveBurn


Enjoy!

I like it- nice work! ;D I tend to like darker themes as well. The orange on grey for the post reply/editor might need a bit of tweaking though- it's slightly hard to read at times. Hopefully we'll integrate some more SMF themes or something in the future to give people more options.

Cool! I like it. I am with Stickly Man in that I tend to like dark themes in general. :)

If my M$Win computers weren't already using high contrast dark #1 or #2 for _everything_ that doesn't break that way, I too would use the theme.
