[Suggestion] Add dark mode

Hello there!
Just wondering if it would be possible to add a Dark Mode setting to the board :
https://www.phpbb.com/customise/db/extension/darkmode
I don't know which version of phpBB this board runs, but 3.2.x is supported. Not a life changer, but would make it easier on the eyes.
Thanks.

I have to admit I never cared much about darkmode as it really only matters if you use a lousy screen(I count phone screens as lousy by size alone)
But even if I should find myself to be too lazy to actually look into this, we already have styles that you can pick in the user settings.
And I think "pycode" was already a pretty dark style that might suffice for the time being.

Of course I tried almost all styles but that one. Thanks, it'll do!
Dark mode is just easier for my eyes overall. As for lousy screens, not always true - I have an ultrawide OLED HDR panel, so I try to limit bright pixel exposure to prevent burn-in.

You could also use a browser add-on, for every browser (Firefox, Chrome, Edge) there are dozens of dark mode extensions that darken the forum.

Thanks, I know about those plugins, they try their best but will never be as good as a native solution. I used one in the past but since dark mode is almost everywhere now, so they're not as required. The style Elana suggested fits my needs for the time being.
