Hello everyone,

If this isn’t your first time on the JUCE forum you will have noticed our new theme.

Our old theme had a few problems:

- Sometimes buttons had unreadable text
- The top bar would offset your reading position when revisiting a thread
- The odd font-loading glitch

Hopefully the new theme has addressed these and is a welcome change.

The new theme also includes a **dark mode** (Preferences -\> Interface -\> Theme) for those who prefer less glare from their screens.

Please let us know if anything isn’t working as it should.

I love the dark theme, thank you!

One tiny bit though, links are a bit hard to spot, anything to make them distinguishable from normal text?

Was going to post the same thing. There is a colour difference between links and regular text, but it’s too subtle to detect.

Try if you can [spot the link](https://webaim.org/resources/linkcontrastchecker/?fcolor=090909&bcolor=FFFFFF&lcolor=424242) in this sentence.

It’s nearly impossible the see the links in either theme, at least for me.

You’re right. I didn’t notice it until i switched to dark theme, but now that I’ve switched back to light it’s almost as hard to spot the links. Not sure why I never noticed it before.

EDIT: Oh, right. New theme. That’ll be why I never noticed it before. _facepalm_

Thanks for the new link colour! Now it’s perfect as far as I’m concerned 🙂

Thanks for the dark-theme. It’s amazing. Finally I can browse the forum late at night without lighting up the whole bedroom 😃

Couldn’t the dark theme be automatically synchronized with the OS setting?

This can be easily archived with css

```
@media (prefers-color-scheme: dark) {

}
```
