I have an idea:

  • When the S&P500 is up the forums would have a green theme.
  • When the S&P500 is down the forums would have a red theme.
  • The intensity of the green or red could even depend on how much the market is up or down. Perhaps a blue theme could be for a neutral market.

I feel @Baron would not even think of implementing this idea.

First, it would require such intense coding with a real-time feed to a market data source that the cost would be beyond measure. He'd lose his house in how much money would be spent on this wasteful idea.

Second, it is a bias. For some people, when the SP is UP, they are in the red, and for others, when the SP is UP they are green. Not everyone sees SP up as being good and SP down being bad. We have to consider both sides of the table.

Third...If it was really needed, he could stick a RSS feed in a scrolling banner-style across the top of the site in a title bar, but even that would seem tacky. This is a static BBS, not a real-time dynamic source of information.

Let's just PLEASE, FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS HOLY, get through the block/ignore issue, and then think about the dark-mode idea? Please? One thing at a time?

Interesting idea but not likely going to happen. I'm not sure how I feel about the site having a constantly shifting palette of colors throughout the trading day.
 
Hi, I developed a dark mode for ET a while ago.
You can write your own or copy mine, up to you.

You have to install this extension on your browser. It will allow you to set styles for specific websites.
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/styl-us/

You will find instructions on how to add your style within the extension website.

The style for ET dark mode is the following:

Code: 
@-moz-document url-prefix("https://www.elitetrader.com") {

    :root {
        --black: rgb(39, 37, 37);
        --white: rgb(212, 196, 196);
        --orange: rgb(221, 137, 33);
        --gray: rgb(94, 86, 86);
    }

    html,
    body {
        background-color: var(--black) !important;
        color: var(--white) !important;
    }

    .breadcrumb,
    .quoteContainer,
    div,
    ol,
    li {
        background-color: var(--black) !important;
    }

    a:link {
        color: var(--white) !important;
    }

    a:visited {
        color: var(--orange) !important;
    }

    [class^='brmsTabHandler_'],
    [class*=' brmsTabHandler_'] {
        background-color: var(--black) !important;
    }

    .BRMSContainer ul.brmsTabNav>li {
        text-shadow: none !important;
    }

    .BRMSContainer .brmsTabContent ol.brmsContentList li.first {
        border-top: none black !important;
    }

    .BRMSContainer .brmsNewItem .itemContent {
        background-color: transparent !important;
    }

    .breadcrumb .crust a.crumb>span {
        color: var(--black) !important;
    }

    .Responsive .redactor_toolbar li a {
        background-color: var(--gray) !important;
    }
    .BRMSContainer .brmsTabContent ol.brmsContentList li{
        border-top: 1px solid var(--gray) !important;
    }
}

ET will look like this:

Why do you want a forum to be in dark mode?? :wtf: It would be so difficult to see if somebody posts a dark mode chart or screenshot from their platform (like the one that's used by yours truly :)). Everything would be blend in.
