I've tried to search for a thread with a similar question/suggestion, but I couldn't find anything. Apologies if this has been discussed before.

I'm coming from another mount's forum, which uses a dark colour theme for the pages. I find that to be much better than a white/light layout, especially for the photo threads.
I'm wondering if something similar exists for PentaxForums... maybe in the form of a Firefox Stylish preset?

Thanks!

Photos definitely look better on black, but white text on a black background does my eyes in something stupid.

Maybe it's possible to have dark backgrounds just for images. Only Adam can answer that though.

You can use the gray skin if you'd like a darker layout, or the simple skin if you find the text hard to read currently.

Thanks for the quick replies!

The current skins are quite OK for text reading, it's just that I thought a dark background for the photo threads would have come in handy.

I read Rangefinderforum using their VBP Graphite - Xpand White Font.
It looks great. Photos stand out and I have no problem reading text.
