Description Jakub Hrbek 2019-01-28 00:22:23 UTC

Since using light GUI on huge monitor makes me blind and is painfull i've decided to make a quick userscript for dark theme on Gentoo Wiki:

Recommends making it into a reallity + i also think that it opens door to more design choices alike "Welcome to the gentoo wiki" on example.

Quick User Script source

Sharing source in case you want to try it for yourself. 

Tested on Chromium using Stylus extension.

Warning: The script is horrible it's concept.

As commented on this wiki discussion: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Gentoo_Wiki:Feedback#cs-comment-269016

How about simply use a browser extension? Something such as: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/darkreader/

Same thing exists for Chrome: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/dark-reader/eimadpbcbfnmbkopoojfekhnkhdbieeh

Can I help you with this implementation? This is important for me.

I use dark reader for this currently. There is only one area it fails, the notification drop-down box. If a notification is unread, the notification background becomes all white, and I have to either mark it as read or temporarily disable dark reader to be able to see it. Other than that, a wiki-native implementation of what dark reader does would be a great first step.

I created a repo for such userstyle, with my fixes - feel free to contribute https://gitlab.com/vitaly-zdanevich-styles/wiki-gentoo-org
