DARK SKIN FOR IPERNITY

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: www.ipernity.com/blog/serola/4716848

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: www.ipernity.com/blog/spo/4655884

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: www.tampermonkey.net

Spotomy told me that other browsers have stopped supporting client side style sheets.

FYI Newest Firefox and newest Opera both support userscripts managed by Tampermonkey.

Please refresh my memory, Marta. Do the Stylish require also Tampermonkey? I seem to have both installed, and recall there is some dependency. But it is already so long time ago when I installed them, that I am not sure, and not interested to test it right now.

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

DarkReader is awesome!
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.

As good as I get it Stylish and Tampermonkey are equivalents. One does not need another. But you may both of them installed because they are not fully compatible (that's my take, maybe I am wrong).
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.

Oh, I did not know that, or have forgotten, if I knew earlier! =,D

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.

On Dark Reader there seem to be a lot of customizing settings. And an option to disable/enable it for each web site is included. Just open the Dark Reader menu from browser toolbar icon, and click on the field showing the web site url that you are viewing.

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

Marta Wojtkowska replied to Sami Serola (inactiv…:

I am trying... sliders make some corrections but not the way I am looking for.
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 ;)

Tampermonkey is obviously less sophisticated :)

Strange... For me that web site opens dark, even if I do not make it as an exception:

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