Not only a Dark theme, but maybe a "dark purple" theme. You know how Google Chrome and other browsers have different themes?

I prefer the contrast a dark theme offers versus all this white space.

Here's a rough draft of an idea....

Obviously something will need to be done to make sure the board name and it's corresponding functions stand out against the board color like making the lettering white against blue like you see up top next to TigerDroppings but it will break up the whiteout that you're seeing now.





Quite a few social media sites including twitter and Reddit have night mode options for people who don't like the harsh glare of the bright white.

You could give users the option to turn on night mode in settings and correspond it to board colors or just stick with a simple navy blue color like Twitter uses.

It's easier on the eyes.





There's demand for this option to be available and Chicken and Circus should take note.

Bring back the damn colored sidebars. this looks like a half assed finished website and I hate saying that because I know they worked their butts off.

This.

Chicken and Circus are good people that deserves all the accolades they get for this wonderful creation of theirs but it's not quite a complete project yet as they have to give their users options to customize how they see TD instead of a one size fits all approach.

They did just that with customizable forums on the left side and on the top and it's great work on their part, just need a little more for cosmetics as well.

I second this.

I don't know what the color code TigerDroppings is using for its dark purple but is what my posts would look like with the left links and the purple background.

I'm using the official code for LSU purple btw. I made the Posts by xxxx white just to give an idea. Obviously the lettering of the links will have to be white as well.



And it's still completely different than we were used to....

I like what you did much better. Looks nicer and easier on the eyes (not so much white).

not enough money in the budget right now

Profits from this site have to cover all the travel baseball expenses during the summer months.
