Which site theme do you use?

SMF let me see the number of people using a theme, but I don't think Xenforo does - and I'm curious :v

i like the light also but i am currently using dark.

Maybe you should save some penny's and get an updated custom theme or buy a theme and mod it to the max.

More themes will definitely be coming, though nothing is in the pipeline just yet. Both of the current themes are just simple reskins of the default theme, but as someone who used the SMF site you can see why we did that - the default Xen index is pretty much exactly how we had our SMF index set up.
Whatever theme we go for in the future will end up looking completely different from the two available ones, and depending on the color scheme used may/may not have an accompanying light/dark mode - maybe it could be a hybrid of light & dark.

The reason I'm curious about this though is because on SMF only 6 people used the dark mode, with my bot included (so 5 actual people). But I think I've heard more than 6 people say they're using the dark here, so I wonder if the Xen version is just objectively better than the light one. I personally think so anyway, but I have the light as default as I think brighter colors are more inviting.

I only use the dark theme.

Dark mode. It is way easier to read the usernames and links. Some of them are too light on the light theme. I am also partial to dark themes. Never been a fan of lighter forums.

The only time you're going to see me use Light Theme in any forum is when they don't have Dark Theme. Since I started using this forum, it's only the Dark Theme that I have used. It's better and more soothing for my eyes.

I have a relativity high screen time. If I don't use dark theme, it's definitely going to affect my eyes drastically.

This is what my screen time looks like. This was last week report.

It's what's almost everyone is making use of because it's very good. Have you used any forum that makes use of up to 4 different themes?

I always use dark. Once I got used to using dark on previous sites, I need there to be the option on forums for my eyes. Especially cause I tend to browse them more in the evening.
