Guild Wars 2

I understand that red and white are the primary colour for GW2. But sorry it is really hurting my eyes. I find it really eye tiring to browse though this forum.

Please add a dark color theme for us forum users to choose from. Thanks Anet! ^^

Turn on the lights, or turn down your brightness.

This has never been a problem for me, so I can only assume its your environment or computer screen causing the issue.

Let your eyes adjust to normal light!

I have albinism in my eyes. “normal light” to me is moonlight at midnight with no light source other than the stars for 20 miles in every direction. Anything more than that and I’m wearing sunglasses night and day.
When you can’t see more than a foot or so infront of your face? I see fine and am relaxed. To borrow a line from a movie “you’re not afraid of the dark are you?”

A dark theme would be VERY apreciated, it is also easier ont he eyes biologically speaking to not be looking at bright white (this is why textbook/manual paper is usually greyed a bit, it is easier on your eyes).

1. OP mentions nothing about “albinism”.
Last I checked, if it isn’t color-blindness, a personal condition doesn’t really motivate a company to make a feature; as a less-than-common condition, you probably already deal with it in your own way (see below)

2. You already have your solution – You wear sunglasses

3. You can still turn the brightness down on your screen – This easier then expecting ArenaNet to re-focus their coding staff on the website when they could be doing more important stuff like fix culling.

A while back I made a darker theme for use with the forums. You have to use an addon called stylish to use it however. You can take a look at it here http://userstyles.org/styles/76247/dark-gw2-forums

While i dont ahve any sicknesses etc that makes the white theme hurt me like some ppl, i do just prefer a darker theme, so why not, just add it as an OPTION so those that want a white theme can use that, those that want a dark can use that

i LOVE how this forum looks. so nice and fresh with the white. so different to most other forums. please don’t change it!!
