GitHub Dark – Switch off the lights

GitLab used to have themes that made it dark but we found that this was hard to maintain. New features would look bad in themes that were less popular. Right now you can only change the color and syntax highlighting theme in GitLab: http://i.imgur.com/6v3b0g7.png

I like this approach much better. I know most Chrome plugins aren't a problem but it still desensitizes people to the one that might be.

Glad to hear that. I agree every Chrome plugin is a potential security risk. Like awesome screenshot http://www.ghacks.net/2014/08/25/chromes-awesome-screenshot-...

I'd still love a dark theme in GitLab, but it's just not worth the effort to maintain it.

For late-night, in the dark work I often use the darkroom mode of F.lux instead.

Color theme is more than adequate. For business applications there's very little reason to change the design style, but strong reasons to be able to change the colors.

Yeah, also helps knowing when you're in staging or production.

You're welcome, screenshots are awesome and I love the dropbox function that puts them in a special folder for quick retrieval. Since SS are also my initials (Sid Sijbrandij) I was confused for a second about your comment until I understood you meant ScreenShot.
