I like the first dark theme, with the darker colors,I like the contrast better I don't have a problem with NT black

@Big Mike
First dark theme seen in post #17 looked the most profesional and easy to read.
Colors just worked well and looked professionaly coordianted.
Gave a good alternative to the white theme. I feel like if you went with a grayish background with white text- it makes legibility harsher.

I need to hear from more people with additional feedback on the themes. Please open the screenshots full screen and examine them.

Please quote the one you talk about in your reply, so there is no confusion -- or use the filename which is shared above the image itself.

I agree that a new look and layout is a positive move. Personally, I found the present web pages difficult to negotiate and it seems that it will be easier to find an item. About the color scheme, I have problems with black and too-dark backgrounds with iridescent or dark foregrounds. Maybe someone else can offer a better combination. In any case, congrats on your decision to keep evolving. Javier

I prefer greys rather than black. Black makes my eyes squint and hunt for some reason. I think the best screen has a minimal hue range and not too bright, and easily read in a bright sun lit room.

Please select from one of the ones I've shared so I know your vote.

I wish you could set it up like a chart so we could make it any color we like everyone has a different perspective

I don't normally use a dark theme and probably wouldn't here either. But since I may end up changing my mind, I did look at the Dark3 variants, and the one I like best overall is 3840 Nexus Dark3 v3:

Nexus Dark3 v3 - Postbit 20230814


I could live with the first Nexus Dark3 version, the one that is way more black. It's actually kind of restful to my eyes, but I like having the body of the post a different color from the quote, and since the post body is more important, I like it the darker of the two. I notice you said "We could try darker, but I don't want complete black like the original." I don't think I would care if it's darker or not, frankly. I don't think total black for the post is that bad, but on the whole I like this variation better.

Record 3840 Dark3 v3 as my vote for dark, so far.

I think the light theme you last gave is OK.

I plan to implement this, but it will be well post-launch of the new theme.

I think we are in the minority, if I am reading the comments correctly

Everyone, keep sharing feedback!

I like the Dark3 one. The darker the better for me. Darker is easier on my eyes. I also like the white text with the dark background.
