I’ve made a few tweaks regarding the light and dark themes, so it’s easier to maintain for admins and easier to configure for users.
There should be almost no visible changes (the header icons are darker than before on dark mode, I don’t think there are other changes).
In your preferences, there were three different fields to configure the interface colors, now there is only one.
If you experience visual issues, have a look at your preferences and set the color palettes as you want: [https://unicyclist.com/my/preferences/interface](https://unicyclist.com/my/preferences/interface)
If you still face issues, please report here 🙂

Did something change with the settings? All of a sudden on pc all pictures are broken, but not on my iPhone.
pfft as soon as I posted this, it started working again.

I don’t know what’s going on, but several threads show images like this:
Also some avatars of peeps show as broken images.

No, but some other things have changed for me
The new or updated topics button is different

As we are on the dark theme subject, here is a limit of the current dark theme (it is not new):
The location field from the trading posts remains bright white even after the thread is read and it creates confusion at a glance as the bright lines are usually threads with unread content.
This is not crucial to the use of the forum yet it could improve the experience on the dark side of the theme 😋

I believe it’s just a change from a recent update. 👍

Note for users who want a **TRUE BLACK** background:
You can install a user style extension, i.e. [Stylus on Firefox](https://addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/addon/styl-us/) mobile or desktop, and change it yourself.
```auto
@-moz-document domain("unicyclist.com") {
:root {
--secondary: #000000;
--header_background: #000000;
}
}
```
Join the _truly_ dark side! 😉
