Dark mode

A lot of the new stuff in XenForo 2.3 is related to performance improvements that won't be immediately apparent on first glance, but there is one new feature in particular that is very obvious, and that is the new dark mode.

If the device with which you are browsing a XenForo site is configured to use its own dark mode, XenForo will switch itself to use the dark theme. Alternatively, you can request either the light, dark, or system-controlled theme using the gadget in the footer next to the style chooser. This will switch the mode instantly, without a page reload.

 

Dark Mode is an expectation now for the modern web.  It's great to see Xenforo include this in their next feature version.  More importantly for theme designers, Xenforo includes a new style variations system where colors can be dynamically updated without a page reload.

I did wonder when Xenforo would make this a feature for their forum software. 

You are correct, it is an expectation now and one I feel should be available almost everywhere. 

So glad to see Xenforo have this option now in their update.
