I'm reimplementing dark mode (controlled by your system settings)

[Lemon]

Okay, so brief overview.

• Starting from a a request from Ambious, I built a dark mode for ballpit. The stylesheet worked out fine, and this allowed me to call it feature complete and make it a feature of ballpit
• However, while the front-end code involved in that was fine, the backend code wasn't. I was accidentally creating hundreds of server errors a day, because I am bad at MySQL. I disabled dark mode "temporarily", but then moved on to other shit and forgot about it
• Last night I remembered that I left that hanging, and am trying another implementation. This will be based on your system settings, rather than a toggle on the site itself. I'll update this thread once I have this part implemented on the live site.

Okay! This has been implemented.

To get it to work, you need to have dark mode enabled on your system itself.

• Windows 10
• Android
• MacOS
• iOS
• Ubuntu

Rad. Also can confirm you've avoided that one common Ubuntu error where dark mode would make text boxes illegible.

Hell fukken yeah

I've only tested it to a certain extent, so if you do run into visibility issues, post em here or email me.

The text field (at least for replies) is dark until I click on it, at which point it becomes white with black text. Which I assume is not supposed to be the case in dark mode.

This also happens for the New Topic text box, but not the text box for sending a PM.

Speaking of which, the alternating colors for Inbox messages alternate between black and white.

My eyes and battery thank you again.

K, update made. For edit mode, post title and post content got restyled (goes from "a little bit darker" to "a little bit more darker" on focus)

Thank you.

One note: the dropdown menus on the account setting pages need some work, as the headings are now unreadable.
