Most of my focus has been on Default Mode -- there may be additional fixes required on Night Mode and Skinner Mode.

Can I ask what you think of the colors I chose for Night Mode? Do you find it readable?

curious y u didnt do b/w. they're pleasant. in fact, i used pretty much same colors for a web page once.
was just assuming it would be black, and surprised at 1st. took a minute to decide. i kinda like the separate shades for dif areas. makes a tad more visual sense.
i have very good color vision, tho. i'd wonder how it works if you're color blind.

Original question: How do I access dark mode? It'll make reading in bed easier!

i'm used to black, tho it took a few days. but this color is too, i dunno, energetic. jazzy.
the dark blue in the sidebar i like, react well to. but these lighter shades. the loss of contrast is ok, but if my eyesight was fuzzier, it might bug me.
but i flipped back to classic, and couldnt help feeling a bit relieved. maybe just nostalgia, but...

i'd try adding more black.
