Pushing up an old post of mine. Options to change the page colors on client side have been possible for years. One only have to know how. Some of them are easy, some requires little effort.
Stylish
Various dark skins for ipernity available here:
userstyles.org/styles/browse?search_terms=ipernity&type=false
You need to install Stylish extension to use it:
userstyles.org/help/stylish
My version of these provides also an option to get rid of the z.gif:

And if you know how, you can make a skin of your own, even a pink one if you like. But I warn you that it is extremely complicated. Most of the current dark skins are based on the hard ground work done by Spotomy:

Dark Reader
Available here:
darkreader.org
I have not yet tested this, and therefore I really can't guarantee how reliable it is.
I am using Dark Reader now on Chrome, and already default settings, are treat for my eyes! Just the right contrast =)
Please notice you can set web site specific exceptions on Dark Reader.
Moreover, Isabel (Xata) has reported that Dark Reader works even on iPhone and iPad (Safari).
Although, it is advised to disable all other similar tools on Dark Reader pages, it still may work for example together with Stylish. So, if you wish to use Stylish instead on some web site, then add that web site as and exception on Dark Reader, and use the Stylish style instead.
Tampermonkey
Get Tampermonkey:

However, I just tested Dark Reader, and I must say it is much easier solution! =O

But is there something similar but doing just the opposite?
There are two websites that I visit every day (have to to stay in tune with my business environment) and they are dark (dark background, light print). My eyes are aching because of it.
You may call it anomaly, but that's what my eyes need: black ink on paper, not the other way around.

I think that I have to correct my previous statement:
I do not use Stylish since last August. I use Tampermonkey only. Last August I upgraded my computer and installed all my operating systems and other software from scratch. That's when I realized that Tampermonkey was available for all my primary browsers (Firefox, Opera and Chrome). So I discarded Stylish (but I still love it!) and went for a uniform solution. Same extension(s), same scripts everywhere.

I will just try to disable Tampermonkey and see if Stylish works without it. I like Stylish because it comes with option to list all available styles for each web site.

Moreover, you can use the sliders to adjust the features for your taste.

Can you try this page for me
zaufanatrzeciastrona.pl
and tell me what can be done there?
It's in Polish but it does not matter ;)

Do you have some other extension running that does the same? Dark Reader may conflict with that.
