Is there any plan for making dark mode or night mode for this website?
It would be great if there is an option to make this website looks darker.
Save the eyes. 8-)

I use a plugin for my browser called Dark Reader. It works well on this site (and doesn't invert the photos which is an issue I see with a lot of plugins!).
Could you please explain how to do it? I use iPad and this white background is killing me.
I'm pretty sure that Dark Reader is an extension for web browser.
So, yeah. That's not an option for me.
Well, that might help.
But, what I meant is something more universal(?) so that mobile phone user could use it.
(Or maybe there is some app that can be used for that purpose?)
I've made a custom dark mode for LyricsTranslate, which does a couple of things other than just inverting the colors. To get it on a PC running a Chrome-based browser, or Firefox, install the Stylus extension (Chrome | Firefox), then go here and add it.
If you're on an Android mobile device, you need a browser that supports extensions, such as the Kiwi Browser. Then you can just follow the guide for PC (with the Chrome extension) using that browser.
Unfortunately I don't know of any iOS browser that allows for Chrome or Firefox extensions, so I'm guessing it's impossible to support it there. It seems Apple imposes their own format for extensions, so it's against the App Store terms and conditions to publish an app that allows for extensions (unless they're in Apple's format). On iOS, Firefox isn't even allowed to use their own rendering engine — in other words, all browsers on iOS are pretty much just reskinned Safari's.
Me not understand a word. Моя твоя не понимай... Lol. I have safari on iPad - so can I get the dark mode?

Unfortunately not, as far as I know — it's only possible for PC and Android users. But I might be wrong, since I have no Apple device to test. Try and search for "Stylus" or "Stylish" among the Safari extensions (which I think should be in the app store). If there is one, install it, then you can get the dark mode from here. Otherwise I don't know what else you can do.
If the admins make a dark mode included in the website itself, then it will work for Safari on iOS of course.
Admins were officially informed about your suggestions.
Yes, this is exactly like what I wanted (I wish I could show it in this comment (another suggestion?)). I still prefer simpler way to use it, though.
(Like something you can toggle on/off from the website (toggle button next to the language option would be best(?)) without installing other plugins.)
I really appreciate that you made this Stylus code, that's really fast. Thanks. :D

Yeah, me too, that can only happen if the LT developers themselves make it.

So did you manage to get it to work on iPad?
No, I am midst an important go-live at work. I just come to LT to exercise my brain so I can keep up with our developers, the local supermen... I also can't install anything on this iPad - no space. I have a nice, shiny new toy iPad since Christmas, but didn't even open it yet... 6-8 more weeks of hell and then vacation!!! Lol. Hopefully.
That's the best suggestion ever.
I always wanted to start this thread myself, but was distracted as usual. IMHO, LT should do it [since it is much easier than lets say annotations and/or idioms blocks], and any 3rd party plugins aren't effective, especially if we always skedaddle from one device to another.
EDIT: Dark Reader is a blessing too, thanks dionysius!

You can adjust the brightness on the iPad by going to Settings>Display & Brightness. Depending on the model you have, you can put a check mark on "Dark" and/or modify the brightness by sliding the button provided.
Thanks.
I already use this to somewhat grey the background. This setting greys everything - I like looking at photos and paintings and it ruins the experience. But when I translate or read, I do make it greyer.
If we could control this for LT, it would be nice to pick the background color. I do understand there is the dev cost and it is a nice-to-have not a must-have.
On iOS you can get Firefox for Mobile and then enable night mode works perfect for me
Try Night Shift on iOS

Now it is possible to use a dark theme. The switch is on the right in the footer. Thanks for the suggestion!
Sounds great! I don’t see it.
Sorry, there was an error in permissions. Now the option should be available to all registered users.
Yes, thanks. Dark as the night. 💁🏼
Videos in my collections don't work when a dark theme is on.
Looks great! Though textboxes still appear as white unless selected. Is that intended?
Ah, also, for translations marked as "proofreading requested" the background becomes white and the text isn't readable besides the line being hovered over ^^
Light>>>Dark it's much better, I didn't even know about anything like that.
Thanks *heart*
Finally! \(≧▽≦)/
That's amazing! Thank you so much.
Is it possible to also add strings for "Theme", "Light", and "Dark" for the interface translation? Or is that not intended to be translated?
Wow, I really liked this new interface! I sure will have to get used to it :P
The dark theme is really beautiful. But I think there is a small problem with the proofreading request. The text on the right is almost unreadable. I hope administrators will see it and deal with the issue soon.
Many thanks!
In the "revisions" button for the modified lyrics and translations, when you press the "compare" button, the background and the unmodified lyrics appear in white and it is impossible to read both texts (only you can read the modified lyrics that appears in red).
I don't know if it happened with other users, but after I closed a window with LT open and reopened it, the theme was changed back to 'Light'. Maybe there could be a message showing up saying something like 'Do you want to set (x) as your default theme?'.
The new proofreading background looks really nice in dark mode now, thank you ^^ A minor nitpick - the translator's signature under the translation (not the translator's comment, but the one that appears under every translation) shows up really dark and almost blends into the background, so it's a bit hard to read (example).

fixed. The next time you switch the theme, your choice will become permanent.

Other fixes on the way, thanks to everyone!
Thank you so much for your hard work!! It looks amazing :)
Aa not sure if it's been raised already but just in case: the highlighted entries on the site requests pages (https://lyricstranslate.com/en/requests, https://lyricstranslate.com/en/transrequests) are also a bit hard to read, like this
I can't switch on a dark theme.
It looks like it was temporarily disabled until few issues are worked out. As we say in the business: details, details. 😏
It was done super fast so we must be patient.
Found one, the footnote background.
Edit:
Now it's perfect.
When someone posts a forum, the title "Report a problem, ask a question" can hardly be read in the activity site panel. Although I don't know if it happens with the other forums.
Text is dark and hard to read in Likes, Notifications, Thanks pages, and also in lists of threads in forum sections and in the buttons at the end of the "translations visibility" page: https://imgur.com/a/dxRhIwr
Most fields in 'View annotation as webpage' are almost unreadable

[@altermetax], [@Alma Barroca]
all fixed, thanks
I don't know if it happened with others, but I couldn't switch after I chose dark, but when I cleared my browsing data then I could switch either in windows or android
And the background of footnotes get white when I press on them
Curious enough, the Light/Dark mode works OK with Safari on an older iPad (iOS 10.3.3) but not on a new one (iOS 13.3.1).
