Darker skin?
Hi, I've been reading/hearing about the eye/sleep benefits of darker/redder color themes on computer screens. I see in the settings/General Settings there's a dropdown for "Forum Skin" that doesn't have much in there.
Is it possible to customize the skin of BF to get a different color pallette? Like a dark gray/black background and amber text and borders?

Bad example
Not a specific answer, but if you are using a computer look for a program called F.lux. It really helps with the color balance.

f.lux was trivially easy to download & install, now I BF has a weird barely-pink cream background instead of blazing white. I'm sure I'll get used to it before long.

Your monitor has color, brightness and contrast settings...those help.

Of course, I should have thought of that too! But still, a blazing white background for a tab I keep full-screen, that's a lotta photons
