Dark theme?

[toto]

Any chance we could get a dark theme for MS?

This is really the only thing that I prefer about TaT vs native access. If I could set a dark theme preference, I'd never use TaT.

x1000 to this. I browse on nightshift.

Just adding my name to the list now that the upgraded site burns my eyes to look at.

I love black screens with brown text, but ever since I was forced out of DOS and into Windows it hasn't been available--too many Message Boxes appear with unchangeable, default black fonts. So I keep my backgrounds set to a soft, non-white color. Except here, where I'm just blinded every evening. But I keep coming back, so it must not be too bad.

Oh, my e-reader is set for Night, white text on a black background, all the time, because there are no options for font color.

Is there a setting in the Native version to jump to the unread comments in a thread like the tapatalk app?

Not sure about jumping to unread, but all content can be filtered to show only unread messages (and actually I believe that unread is the default). The interface is a little clunky, but very customizable. Look under Menu->Activity->Activity Streams.

I did that and that only gives me the threads I haven't read at all yet. Thanks though. I'll have to scroll through them till they get tapatalk fixed.

Dot before title (turns to a star if you have committed) takes you to next unread post

There is a double secret method to finding the content you haven't read yet....   

First, click on the unread content button...

There is a...

• Black dot next to each thread title...(a thread that you have not left a post)
• Black star next to each title...(a thread you have left a post)

 

Touch either the dot or the star...

• the viewer jumps to where you left off last.  Indicated by a blue line...
• use caution it may not work perfectly, and going back can be a challenge...
• The biggest challenge is not hitting the icons on either side of dot or the star...

How is that?

Hope that helps....  

Best regards,

Ok all dark theme is now live.  At the bottom of the site you will see 'Theme' with a down arrow - click that and select "MS Dark Theme" to try it out!

@mooniac58 I often have to switch back to default scheme to view a link that someone posted. For instance, if I am viewing in dark theme and someone posts a link referring to a previous thread, I can see only a black box. However, if I change back to default then I can see and click on the intended link.

[mooniac58]

Yeah I have seen that too.  Unfortunately it was a package deal I don't have much control over.  Perhaps a better one will come out later on.
