[How-to] Dark theme for the Minetest Forums

Are you bored of the light theme of the Minetest Forums? Do you want a dark theme that's easier on your eyes and makes your browsing l33t?

How-to



1. Install the Stylish extension for Chrome/Chromium or Stylish add-on for Firefox, depending on your browser. There may be options for Safari and Internet Explorer users, but I haven't explored them yet.
2. Install this userstyle: https://userstyles.org/styles/95077/php ... lue-simple
3. Edit the userstyle: in Firefox, you can do this by going to the add-ons list, clicking "User styles" below it, click on "Edit" on the dark phpBB style, then you will land in the code editor.
4. At the top of the userstyle, you can see many lines like domain("forums.xkcd.com"),. Add a line below it with domain("forum.minetest.net"), (don't forget the ending comma!).
5. Don't forget to save the script.
6. Enjoy! This applies immediately to all open Minetest Forum tabs in the browser.

Caveats



  • As you can see, a glowing border will be visible at the sides of the container. This is probably due to the drop shadow added by the light theme.
  • Many buttons will be replaced by text, which makes them more explicit, but at the same time more lengthy and bigger (in width).

I don't like the glow very much. I might try to disable it.

I'd appreciate to have a darker theme, but why does it require installing a plugin? Won't it be possible to add a theme to the forum that more or less has reversed colors? The perfect way would be to read the forum the way the user wants it, but that's probably too demanding nowerdays. We had that in the good old days of usenet news. The tin client was way superior to any web based technology. It didn't have pictures, but reading was far far more convenient :-(
A list of my mods can be found here.
