Here's the page where you can choose dark mode (midnight skin) on the desktop version of the site: https://slickdeals.net/forums/profile.php?do=editoptions

Qualitative and precise regarding the issues IMO.
Definitely not vague at all.

Unfortunately the midnight theme on Classic has been pretty much deprecated since devs concentrate more on the dark theme for Redesign now instead. However, some of my team use this extension, Dark Reader, that they say works very well for them (and they're mostly on classic) https://darkreader.org/. Maybe try that and see if it works for you too?

I find it funny that most of your team uses classic but SD continues with the redesign.
I'm surprised that I did not know about dark reader. So much easier on the eyes.

Edit Had to turn it off since it made read threads look the same as the other threads. bummer

Most of my team had been users for years before they started working for SD, myself included. So we're diehard Classic users lol. (And our job is easier to do in classic too Wink)

I did ask one of them if they saw the same issue you do with dark reader not showing bold vs not bold for read and not read threads. They say they do actually see the bold and not bold for distinguishing read and unread. But it's more subtle in dark mode than regular/light mode, as you can hopefully see below.


Classic in dark mode (the Claritin thread is the one that's read and not bold. Ignore the white box at the beginning of the other titles, that's just the normal 'go to first new post' icon that's on all threads that haven't been read or have new posts in them. Though that might actually help for telling which you've read or not Wink)

Redesign in dark mode (Total Wireless and the Google Pixel are both read and unbold and ignore the white box here too)

If this is what you see, then maybe you may just have to learn to distinguish bold vs not bold with it for a bit longer? Give it a bit more time or something?

Thanks you are correct. I have been using it the past few days and getting used to it. The difference is very subtle. I Adjusted the contrast and it is a little better.

Good I'm glad it's a bit better for you now Big Grin I won't swear to it, but I think I remember my coworkers mentioning it has some options to customize it to some extent. It sounded like there were several options but I don't use it myself so I'm not sure. Hopefully you can get it to work very well for your own eyes.
