Any plans on adding a 'dark mode' for the site? Most sites offer this as an option now and it would be a welcome addtion.

Thanks Everett.
Yes, dark mode is just a theme with a dark background (Black or dark blue) which is easier on the eyes, uses less energy and also is useful for some people with vision issues. Many sites like Twitter/Feedly offer this option. _________________ RPM=(MPH*336* (R&P*4th*1.26))/Tire Diameter in inches |

Ok, so this wasn't as easy as I thought to implement as I would have to recreate a ton of the graphics, etc. to be "dark" too.
BUT
At least in Google Chrome and Firefox, there are some "Dark Mode" Extensions/AddOns that allow you to actively switch any website to a dark mode.
I tried the extensions in both browsers and it's not perfect or as pretty as a true integrated dark mode but seems to work fine.
I'm using Dark Reader, there may be others:

I'm not sure I like it during the day but it has a bunch of settings and I need to experiment with adjusting the brightness/contrast/etc.
I'm going to check it out at night and in the dark when I'm guessing it's preferable. It has a little on/off toggle so easy to flip it back and forth too. _________________ How to Post Photos

I'm using it as well in MS Edge and it works fairly well after adjusting the brightness/contrast.
The colors do seem a bit washed out though. _________________ RPM=(MPH*336* (R&P*4th*1.26))/Tire Diameter in inches |
