I do wish Github had a dark theme option at least. Sometimes I do a lot of reading on there at night, and all that white is too much.

It looks like they are adding options to choose from different styles. I don't see the link yet in my account settings but this screenshot makes me think it's coming to everyone. https://twitter.com/jublonet/status/830131346798424064

The timing of this is a funny coincidence as Stack Overflow has just been rolling out their own new navigation topbar [0] to the sounds of "PLEASE, theme it dark" from their meta community. A lot of it just sounds like bikeshedding to me, but it's funny timing nonetheless.

Is this purposeful or a mistake? If mistake, I'm surprised it hasn't been reverted yet.

I would say it's a mistake, but you never know. This style has been used for github enterprise to make it "differentiate" from github.com, I don't think it's a good idea to make them look the same...
