Night mode and dark mode

[Stoya26]

Hi there,

Can you please bring back the night and dark mode switch on the main page like there was in 8.3.3 I think it is?

I change between each depending on sunrise and sunset and its kinda annoying to go deep into the settings to change it everytime. Or maybe a feature so its automatic and follows windows settings?

Best,
Jasper

I don't remember a dark mode in official Webclient ... are you sure that you're not mixing with 3rd party Webclient from Lars ?

For feature suggestions, please use Github, the dev doesn't read these forums : https://github.com/FoldingAtHome/fah-we ... tet/issues

Sorry, there's already a Dark Mode.

It's here : https://v8-5.foldingathome.org/account/appearance (you might have to login to your account first).

They are asking that it be made automatic or an easily accessed switch again, rather than buried in account settings.

Once you set it in your settings, dark mode will persist on every PC.

As I read it, the point is that they want to change the theme frequently as long as it is not auto, and digging into the settings all the time is tedious. Hence their suggestion to make it automatic, depending on the system preferences.

It would be nice to extend the web client with something like, with radio buttons:
Theme: o light o dark o auto

It's not that difficult to get the system prefs from the .vue file (did just that yesterday on a test system because of this thread). The only problem is saving the setting in the account - that needs a change on the backend rather than just the web client.

It's worth making a git request for

I think there is also a request that appearance settings be stored with browser database, not the account.
