Oculus Forum Dark Mode

No longer working!
This was for the old forum.
 
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:
Stylus will detect the script and ask you if you want to install. In theory (not tested) it should by default auto update if I make changes. Done.
The repo is here if you want to check for changes manually, It's in my previous grease monkey repo: https://github.com/rajetic/oculusforumtool
 
Apparently I may be able to add configuration variables for easy customising of colour and turning features on/off. I'll look into that later.
 
 
Here's an example:

First of all, this is great @kojack !

 Having used it for a week now, only issue ive come across and really a minor one I may add is when you get notifications:

The avatar size overrides the text box or whatever you call it.
 Dont know if you can fix it to align with whatever size of avatar one wants.
Just wanted to give you some feedback on this great addon.

My eyes no longer burns browsing my favorit forum of all times.
Be good, die great !

Oh also .. New posts in Announcements doesn't have a box around them making it harder to catch:

But really just another minor issue.

Yeah, that announcement new post bit is bizarre, I spent a while trying to get it to work. The CSS for the categories and the new posts is identical. Changing the background colour of the announcement post makes just the new post bit break, not the category (as I said, both are implemented in the same way).
I may just remove the announcement colour and try a different way to flag them.

I'll have to see if I can get some notifications while I'm online to see the css behind them.

I've just got configuration variables working, so I can have a gui that lets you turn options on/off and pick your own colours without touching the css code.
