Forums - Website Topics - Is there a dark theme/night mode for this website?

If so, how do I go about enabling it? I've looked in the settings, bottom of the page and the like, saw nothing. I also searched on Google for this with no success. Guess I'll have to put this in the 'Dark Theme Everywhere' extension list I'm using.

There is none to my knowledge, but if the mod team/admins see this maybe they could add it to the list of fixes.



That would be a really nice feature.



Yeah, that would be great. Just found that Youtube had one and once you go black, you never go back

YouTube still hasn't updated for me, which I'm really glad about. I don't think the old design has a dark mode.

It has one, but it's hidden and is easily enabled via chrome extension for example.

Makes things lots better!

Name of the extension if you don't mind? I use chrome.

If you are on desktop, go to Youtbe, click on your profile, and Dark Theme should be OFF, you can turn it ON for night mode. It's relaxing even during the day.

I used to use this one, prior to the developers embedding it into youtube for basically everyone : https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/dark-skin-for-youtube/bfeknfgchonpnofdjokchhdhdnddhglm/reviews?hl=en . It would appear from reviews that it's not working anymore, though I can't say for sure.

Ljink96 decribes how to get dark youtube the easy way, though.

That extension seems to implement the dark mode by itself and not just enable a 'hidden' dark mode that already exists in YouTube. Of course this detail is irrelevant for the end result, but it seems you can't really say YouTube's old design has a dark mode.

Ah, I should have been more specific. I'm using YouTube on desktop, it's just that the desktop version of the website hasn't updated for me yet. I tried the new one and didn't like it (it was really bad in certain ways), but the old design doesn't have a dark mode. I know the new one does - I tried it myself.
