Say hello to our fresh new look

Story of my life!

I’m actually fine with light mode, but there are extensions that will apply custom styles automatically when you visit sites. No need to do it manually every time.

So, you don't get it and you get it all in the same comment :)

What a bizarre rant over the suggestion to add an option.

Firstly, I (nor anyone I read in the thread) am not "winging" as you put it, we were ASKED when this forum first landed what we would like to see as suggestions for improvements to the forums and myself and MANY users suggested an OPTION (not a hard coded change) for a dark theme. Many forums offer this now and it was stated at the time as a good suggestion and something the forum developer might consider, but was not possible at the moment, is still the same in this case, I simply echoed the suggestion again.

It is also apparently clear that this suggestion is not a sole suggestion I personally have, in fact I am sure someone else made the original suggestion and I echoed my +1 to it when this forum was first opened

That is quite a patronising statement that really shows little regard for anyone that may actually have a sensitivity to bright light! Personally, I don't have a major issue with a bright screen but I do suffer migraines, I have a medical "Astigmatism" which I have had my whole life and require glasses to correct but this can also cause eye strain due to how glasses work and the fact light is more focused. Loads of people have this kind of vision problem and it is perfectly managable but coupled with coloured blindness and a difference in how I detect certain wavelengths of light, it can cause headaches and eye stress when there is too much light and reducing bright light is one thing I do to help. There is a reason coding software is almost always dark in colour and also why pretty much every DAW now uses darker main colours, I can tell you it has nothing to do with being "groovy".

Now, I already modify my workspace (and web browser) to solve these problems, I am very aware and capable to do this BUT not everyone out there is so it would be a nice thing for those users to have the OPTION like other forums and sites are now including.

"Electricity" is not a finite resource, it is just the name given to a form of energy which is technically infinite. You can create Electrical energy by means of mechanical generation such as wind and steam, chemical conversion (batteries, solar) or thermal converstion using a heat/cool differential, at least that is what it says in my sons year 5 science book.

You are also forgetting about the Sun as the most obvious bright light source and while people can simply close their eyes or squint if it's considered too bright, we still have those options called "sunglasses" which are not just for making people look "groovy", but also have that extra benefit of reducing glare and UV rays into the retina.

Yeah, what can one say to that really. Not sure i'd be game to suggest everything everyone posts here is meaningless drivel.

Point taken, i'm just gonna check out of here now...

Fresh look load this image every time I search something native instruments related,, I hate i !!! it make me feel like I didn't found anything and also makes me leave the page.. so it would be nice to leave me with what I found not with this part of your website !!!

Exactly as you said... I search something on Google related to native instrument and I'm landing on the top page which has nothing to do with what i searched... For that reason I m instantly close the page because I realise has nothing to do with what I clicked on Google .. In fact it's very annoying is like I'm wasting my time, actually you are wasting my time ... First thing I scroll down and found nothing related and then I leave the page, yeah I'm wasting time !!! Fix This !!!!!
