Where's our Forums Dark Mode?

Thanks for the launcher dark mode, now where's our forums dark mode? I'm so sick of beige.

I agree. We should be able to have an option to change colors and also have dark mode and light mode etc.

Unfortunately the current forum style is a holdover from the FFXIV 1.0 days where it matched the colour of the original 1.0 Lodestone (that had an old-fashioned 'age of exploration' look). The Lodestone ended up being completely redesigned and was given a new modern dark style, and a later lighter one, but the forums remained five shades of brown and beige like it's always been. Which is odd given VBulletin (the software the forum uses) does support multiple themes.

I don't mind the beige as a colour scheme for doing a lot of reading.

If you are using Google Chrome as a browser, you can download the Midnight Lizard Chrome Extension and adjust the forum colors that way. I actually like it better then having a dark mode settings since you can change the color scheme to your liking. The extension also works for other sites.
