Default Desktop Dark Mode *Beta* is Here!

Hey everyone,

We are super excited to launch a new way to enjoy the S2KI community from your desktop/iPad devices!

It's still a beta, but beginning today if you're logged in and visiting the Community from your iPad/desktop device, you can now choose a dark mode theme in addition to the standard 'bright' theme we've always had.

We are looking to you for feedback about the experience. Being that you are one of the first communities we're trying this out on, we appreciate any feedback you're able to provide.

Please enable dark mode using the toggle at the upper right, and let us know your feedback in this thread.




Along with the theme, we're also testing new icons inside dark mode to signify thread statuses. Here's a breakdown of what they are:



We're still tweaking some iconography like the stars displayed under some usernames, but we look forward to the other feedback you can provide. Thanks and we hope you enjoy dark mode!

Harder to figure out when using 'my recent posts' which threads have new replies, the bold type isn't very clear. Perhaps a better use of grey scale could be used in conjunction with the bold type to highlight the unread threads/posts.

Appreciate that feedback. We've been hearing similar in a few other communities too, so it's definitely a change we'll be further exploring.

Same way you enabled it. Upper right corner, click on the 3 dots next to the bell icon, click to off.
