I'm usually "dark theme all the things" I didn't love DEV's incarnation. I find the dark text on dark background hard to read, and find all the still-gleaming-white input boxes jarring.
Yep, I tried it out this morning - still not quite my jam, but DEV moves fast - I'll make a point to check in periodically! Pink is doing it for me for now :)

I don't think I could have said it any better.
Pink theme is great, but it would be better if it was dark.

Have you tried it recently? I think it's only getting better.
However, I do love the pink theme. If it was darker I'd definitely use it, but I simply browse dev.to too much to withstand a light theme.

Yeah, it's a bit too dark, and way too high contrast.
🤢
how'd I do? 🤣
Well excuse me for having some culture :P
I already did, but now we are gonna have to address your snark too Ben.
😭
Hey, I use the Pink theme. Snark feels like it comes with the territory.
I never knew those were the rules but it makes sense. U&I agree.
Snarky masculine pink is an unusual combination.

I love 2000s themes. Do you have any plan for this kind of theme? @ben
This is an example :)

Definitely a very specific aesthetic.

Hot Pink Theme > Pink Theme
This pink is already pretty hot!
BTW, has anyone tried setting the base font as "comic sans" 😄
I run Pink Theme with comic sans. Fite me bro!
Oh no :(
I cannot because that is the truth
ONLY dark theme.
Well, duh. Been using it since I discovered there are themes.
Ah, but have you seen Hot Dog Stand?

It's not pink, its light red
Potato, potato.
And here my inner monolague pronounced them the same as potato, potato
Hah, me too!
I can't because you are right.
Nothing wrong with pink themes. I find them better for visibility!
completely agree, no need to try changing your mind. :3
oh! I didn't even know there was a pink theme. I like it.
