BLF After Dark, CSS theme [not relevant anymore]

TK could you alter the theme to make the color of the Maim Menu (on the left) items the same as the brighter blue color of the “Home>Forum>Miscelaneous” items on the top? The same goes for the thread list, they’re too dark to read against the dark grey background, they need to be a little brighter.

That’s an easy change:

I found that I had to override it the forceful way though, which had some side effects… like, links which used to be white turned blue. And I found it seemed a little too bright. So, for me personally I think I’ll stick with the un-styled links (inherit the default style from BLF instead of overriding).

In any case, it’s at that link and the one-line change is tagged with DanielM if you want to find it or modify it. :slight_smile:

TK, thank you Very Much, my eyes & their owner are Very Grateful. :BEER:

A few more little fixes:

  • Finally themed the tab widgets, like at the top of the account settings.
  • No more weird wrapping on the private message thread pager.
  • Less obnoxious “Tag this conversation” widget.
  • Shadows on links to increase contrast, instead of making the text color brighter.

That last one is probably the most noticeable. It showed me a few things I didn’t realize were clickable before, like in the commercial sellers’ rules:

Ignorant question: this would not work for Chrome on an Android device, would it?

I haven’t tried, but I don’t see why not. If it can run the Stylish extension, it should be able to do this.

So, I looked it up. I’m seeing “May 14, 2015: Google Chrome for Android will not be getting extension support any time soon, Chrome developers say …”

However, it seems to work on Firefox on Android. After installing Stylish, I told it to get styles from userstyles.org, searched for “BLF”, and then followed the links to install it.

… and now it works on my tablet.

iam little bit PC analphabet-i use chrome for xp windows…please,how to use this screen? how to run it?
my eyes need some break:)))))))))

As it says in the first post:
To use this, install the “Stylish” extension, then search the userstyles.org repository for “BLF” and follow the instructions there.

Wow!
This is cool!

Thanks Toykeeper.

Love it TK! Thank you! Now I wont blind myself while checking first thing in AM!

Hey ToyKeeper! Is there any way to make this work in IE? I know code writers don’t like IE but I just can’t get myself to like Chrome no matter how hard I try. If not I’ll try to figure something else out. Or maybe I’ll use Chrome just for BLF if I have to but it will be with great reluctance.

It doesn’t look promising:

The interested list in this post does not look good. Can you fix it?

Got it TK, now I can see the text better.

This After-Dark theme is cool. :slight_smile: but how does a bottle of Bort as mix go with a good dark rum? :beer:

My old eyes thank you greatly. Bravo!

Love it! Thanks!

This is pretty wild stuff, cool.

Oh, wow. Now that is hideous.

It looks like M4D M4X explicitly set a background color on each link in that list… or set it once and copy/pasted it a bunch of times. The first half of the list has styled links, while the second half has styled spans. And a few items are bare.

I can override it, but it’s kind of a violation of scope. It would prevent anyone from ever setting a background color in the text of their posts. At least, in links or spans.

So, what do you think? Should it override style mis-uses (and also override normal uses too), or should it allow both (and give us an occasional hard-to-read post like that one)?

my first thought was this .....
