What theme do you use with Tildes?
I’ve come to associate Love Dark with Tildes because I like it so much. I don’t use any other theme here. I think it works well with the excellent layout of the site UI elements, giving the blend between them a particular smoothness.
How about you?
Black. That is all.
Same here... Anything else is too bright for my taste :)
That would be my second choice.
Solarized Light, I find the pale brown very calming and it gives some retro vibes which distance this site even further from the "normal" internet.
I totally get the separation from the normal internet. This place is kind of a sanctuary in some ways and I think my choice of theme marks that. (I just use the default dark mode elsewhere)
It gives me the feeling of parchment, which helps with that disconnection.
I've tried all of the themes on terminals in the past, and while I've always liked Solarized Light I just couldn't stick with it in the long term. Tildes is the only place I actually use it.
Today I learned there are themes on Tildes…
I've been using the "Love dark" one with some custom colours for links and notifications, but I've gone back to the default because I've been noticing my eyes getting tired. I mostly use Tildes during my breaks at work (don't tell my boss I'm here) where the office lighting is really bright. At home it's way dimmer, so I use dark mode almost exclusively.
I can imagine Love Dark is a bit different on a non-OLED screen too.
If your boss asks, I saw you reading work-related manuals.
Gruvbox Dark, I just like the warmer tones.
Love light.
Not because I'm a huge fan of purple but because it's the easiest on my eyes. I keep my screens in orangy night mode 24/7, and the resulting purply-beige is a nice soft shade, plus the colour contrast with text and links is high.
I went with Nord Dark, since it's my least distracting dark web page on both daytime and nighttime.
Not too bright, nor too dark, the letters are kept in a certain light shade of gray to keep it readable without forcing my eyes to squint or getting overwhelmed with too much lighting. The contrast between the UI elements is so well-balanced that I can still figure out each of their function and importance at a glance, all while never sacrificing readability.
Dracula for me, I appreciate the dark blues giving me a dark mode adjacent experience without everything being black
Atom One Dark. The contrast is perfect for me.
Atom One Dark, here.
I guess I'm in the minority here, I use Solarized Light. I find it easier to read comments with this theme.
My phone is set to the dark theme from sunset to sunrise and with that, Firefox is also set to the device theme, and because of that about 90% of the web defaults to some sort of a dark theme. But I chose Solarized Light for Tildes at all times.
Love Dark is my favorite, shout out to my LD's in here already. I think it takes the lusciousness from the outrun aesthetic here
And keeps the brightness close enough to a native dark mode to make for my fav browsing experience
