So its been a decade since the creation of SteamGifts, but still there is not dark mode toggle option implemented on the site. Rather than using addon third party extensions I prefer to rely on steamgifts alone. I would recommend adding an option of dark mode toggle to save our unholy eyes of hell from the holy light of the creator lol.

I'm using Dark Reader browser extension. It isn't as cg puts in a lot of effort to improve the site for users. And if he would a special SG dark mode shouldn't be top priority. There are a lot of issues that should have been tackled a looong time ago and which are more important in my opinion.

Dark Reader is all you need. Works on everything.

Yeah a mod mentioned about Dark Reader and that is why I asked for a simple button.

It's not as simple as adding a button that inverts the colors, a proper dark-mode needs design consideration for it to look good.

In fact if you want to try just that, here's a simple bookmarklet you can add to your bookmarks toolbar and just click it on any page to "invert" the colors:

(you can click it again to revert back and forth)

compare it to an actual dark-mode userstyle designed for SG:

and yes there are extensions like DarkReader or MidnightLizard that automatically applies dark mode on all websites while allowing you to customize the looks and define exclusions.

I use light mode on all sites because it's better for reading. But definitely the dark mode should be an option for those who don't want to strain their eyes at night or because they just prefer this set.

+1 as well for dark mode..

yes there is dark reader add on you can use, but for those who browse this on mobile phones, a dark mode is a very much QOL addition..

Dark Reader is king. <3 I don't care if it even breaks some sites.

i've used a darkish/modern style for this site for many years & it's been fantastic, but a built-in, legit dark mode would always be welcomed
