Freetrade community Dark theme šŸŒš

Now that Appleā€™s launched itā€™s new Mac operating system with a dark mode, I figured we should set up a dark theme for the site.

You can switch between themes from the hamburger menu next to your profile icon -

This had been created using the primary colour palette for Freetradeā€™s brand :art:

This should be easier on your eyes so now youā€™ll only be blinded when you switch to regular sites :upside_down_face: Let me know how you get on with this!

Dang, for a second there I thought you meant a dark theme on the Freetrade app - that would be :sunglasses:

Haha my bad, Iā€™ve updated the title so hopefully no one else will get their hopes up.

Obviously a dark theme for the app would a low priority right now, while weā€™re focused on building things like US stocks & ISAs but it has been talked about.

Iā€™d be curious to see how many votes the request got if someone posted it in #feedback-and-ideas :eyes:

Nothing wrong with the Freetrade colours, but hey if one day the option is given then why not.

This seems to have stopped working for me, nothing happens when I click on the ā€˜Freetrade Darkā€™ option in the hamburger menu, neither on my phone, nor desktop (Firefox/Chrome).

My phone works but the desktop does not and that was what I thought he meant when he mentioned the hamburger menu option :+1:

When Iā€™m logged in changing using the ā€œhamburgerā€ doesnā€™t work, however I can still change from the preferences, interface tab.

I can change it using the ā€œHamburgerā€ when logged out however. Seems that setting it in your preferences overrides the ā€œhamburgerā€ setting.

Good spot :+1: Not sure if it ever did work the other way TBH. Now works on mine.

Wahey! That worked, my eyes thank you. Got a new (well, refurbished) phone which was the ā€˜updateā€™, but if this was an account setting i am surprised that changed it. I am sure it used to work in the hamburger menu.

Thanks for this tip :slightly_smiling_face:
