I hate it, I can't even see my (mostly black) avatar against the black background.

#32Before everybody goes crazy. You can change the header to the light version again by going into your Settings -> Design.
Some people are still missing this option in their settings, but it will show up soon.

#33I wonder if there's any significance too this.

#34It seems that I am unable to change the theme back to light.
Have tried:
Is this controlled from a setting somewhere?
Re: GitHub changes topbar to dark theme
#35I 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 author of that tweet added a follow-up that it's not a real screenshot, just a mockup.

Source? The screenshot in that one tweet was fake ("a mock-up"), as the author themself stated.

I use Stylish on Safari and Chrome with both the GitHub Dark and Hacker News Dark themes. My eyes couldn't be happier. https://userstyles.org/styles/37035/github-dark https://userstyles.org/styles/113994/hacker-news-dark
For anyone considering using stylish on chrome, you should know that the latest update turned on tracking by default. It will send your current url to fetch a list of "styles for this url", but does it even when the popup isn't visible. You can check by looking at the network tab of the `background.js`.

#39It's ugly.
The stark contrast with the rest of the site hurts.
Re: GitHub changes topbar to dark theme
#40This seems kinda pointless without the remainder being dark-themed as well.
I agree it actually bothers me more like this (and I normally love dark themes!)
I ended up "fixing" this by installing the Stylish extension/plugin on Chrome, then downloading a dark theme (then I went crazy and did the same with a bunch of other sites, too - including HN)...
