I’m finding the forums to a bit straining on the eyes

I also would like to see the crushed bodies of my victims and listen to the lamentations of their women and children.

Mr. OP, I was just wondering if you’d mind sharing the meaning behind your user name?

As one of the founders of the Dark Attraction and Funhouse Enthusiasts I am in favor of anything themed dark. 😉

I think it would make things a lot more likely to happen if someone could make even a crude mockup of what one would look like, or link to a vBulletin forum with a dark theme that could be copied.
I _might_ look into making a script or something (but it would only work on desktop browsers and one Mobile browser). Might. It’s hard to know with how my brain is lately

Heh. **The Big Poo.** “Dark.” “Straining.” I’m sensing a theme here.

DirecTV just introduced a dark background for its station listings. It stinks, especially with the smaller font size that disappears unless you have a huuge screen TV.
Don’t give the Dope Powers any ideas about major changes. Next thing you know, we’ll have obnoxious popup ads. :smack:

There’s a Chrome addon that might help you out: [Care your Eyes - Chrome Web Store](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/care-your-eyes/fidmpnedniahpnkeomejhnepmbdamlhl?hl=en)

Tapatalk has a dark theme that I recommend.
