I hate to be That guy but I have to ask:
What version are you running? Just curious

It's not really an issue I have, more a request.

I just checked the (very limited) choice of board themes and there's no dark theme :( . Is it possible to add one or a few please? Thanks :) .

If I told you that I'd be opening us up to version-specific exploits, now wouldn't I? :karen:

This is something I hadn't considered before. I might look around for some. Good idea!
It'll probably have to wait until after we upgrade to the newest software, as that's a major version bump and themes will need to be updated for it.

They do say to Neve expose your implementation details. Although not a fan of security through obscurity.
Anyhow a dark theme would be pretty suave.
Thanks for your hard work!
