White is a nice neutral color but it can be pretty blinding at night time. Would be cool if Nintendo Age had a theme with darker colors that users could switch to if they wanted. Yes I know you can download extensions to lower the gamma in the browser but I'm not a fan of downloading a plug-in for one site. Thoughts?

Couldn't you dim your computer screen to make the contrast less intense? I think NA might have other priorities.

I like the suggestion. On the phone later at night it could be a good option.

It's not quite the same thing.  A different user style for nighttime functions differently than lowering the screen brightness.  If programming it or creating the CSS for it is a time issue for Dain, an admin or a mod I could chip in and help if needs be.

 

It could be neat, but there's probably higher priorities on the NA plate. I know we have a Halloween / Fall theme (at least we did on Vintage?) though, so maybe it could just be a simple palette swap.

I would have never though of this, but it's a great idea.

I really like this idea. That blast of white (late at night or early morning) is tough on the eyes even if the brightness is turned all the way down.

Hah, "blast of white" ^^

Great idea! I always put night mode on sites with night mode, looks way more slick!

Sounds like a neat idea!

I think this is a good idea too. If you're on a Macbook you can invert the colors at night to help.

Even not at night, a palette selection would be awesome.

A bright white screen is extremely hard on your eyes even in the daytime.

i set every website i go to and my chrome browser to much darker and bolder colors that do not kill my eyes. Would be nice to have here as well.

I swear this was an option at one point. Maybe I'm mistaken though.

really now? How do you do that?

Turn on the shortcut in System Preferences>Keyboard>Keyboard shortcuts>Accessibility

 

 

neat. Thanks sir!

I like this idea too. I'm on NA at night a lot, and on my phone the white is frying my eyeballs. For some reason my Android phone's lowest brightness is still really bright.

I love this idea. I remember WinMX had the feature to turn the screen black with bright colored font. Loved it. More recently IMDB has a black background option also which I completly prefer.

I understand thier are bigger fish to fry but I it a cool idea.

We used to have a night mode on vintage... not sure if that still works.

Bump.

If you know HTML and understand regex, you can use proxomitron to change it yourself.  It's a local HTML proxy, so besides blocking ads and other crud, it lets you change web pages any way you wish.  Very powerful, but a pain to get working with HTTPS sites. 
 

can you explain this in English?  

Err, umm... that was the dumbed down version...  

It's a program that runs on your local machine.  Rather than a browser just going to a website remotely, you tell the browser to connect to this program in the browsers options menu.  The program then connects to the remote site, downloads the page, changes it based on some filters, and sends it to the web browser.

A basic setup would allow you to replace the word "sega" on any web page to the words "pile of crap".  You're not changing the actual web page, but when you yourself visit it, you'll see the altered page.  

If you know HTML, you can then use this filter to re-write a page to look how you want it to. 
 

I do have a basic understanding of HTML. Very basic  So how does one setup such a program?

That would be nice.
