Here's a mostly working version of a dark mode for this forum.
It features the following:
- generally dark theme for everything
- posts by moderators are coloured orange
- posts by oculus staff are coloured blue
- avatars have been enlarged from 40x40 to 60x60
- emojis in posts are half size
- quotes are coloured a dark cyan, increasing in brightness as they are stacked (quoted quotes, etc)
- code blocks are a greeny colour
- spoilers are a red-ish purple
- in the edit box for a new post, you can now see where quotes are (previously they were invisible)
- signatures are darkened so they don't look like normal post text
- like, lol and awesome counts are yellow
- the flag post button is red
- announcement posts in the thread list page are coloured a dark greenish cyan
There are a few broken bits at the moment. The oculus forum does some tricky stuff, some of its combo boxes use css that is injected after the page is loaded, which I can't override. So for example I currently can't change the community combo box correctly (the one where you pick community / developer / vip / foreign language boards).
I also can't currently correctly colour the OculusSupport account's first post in a thread, for some reason that one account is an admin but isn't given admin css. I can detect it in some situations, but not all (css is rather limited).
There's also a bunch I probably haven't noticed is missing. It's a work in progress.
To use
First install Stylus or similar (Stylish probably works too). You can get it from here:
Oddly enough, I don't like dark themes, except on youtube (so it doesn't distract from the video). 🙂
I am going to make an option where it has everything except the dark theme, so I can use it to get the new quote stuff.
I haven't tried the forum from a vr browser, I'll take a look.
I just tested, the dark mode works in Firefox for android too. After installing Stylus (there doesn't seem to be a chrome android version, but Firefox has it), go to the github link I gave above. It won't install though. Go to the firefox menu and select "Request Desktop Site". Now it will pick up the script and install. Go back to the menu and turn off the desktop site option.
I may need to modify it a bit for mobile though, the bigger avatars mean less post area on screen.
