The link to the .js doesn't work anymore booo :( but I went to userstyles.org and installed stylish plugin for firefox and there is a nice dark steemit theme. aaaaaaah my poor burnt eyes feel much better!!

I love it, it works flawlessly in TamperMonkey on Chrome, mind if i Mod it/update it and re-release it?

Go nuts @venuspcs it probably does need an update by now - I got distracted by other projects and havent had time. Market screen and some of the forms need tweaking at least. Would be cool to get a mention tho :P

When reading at night this would make it nice. Even though it might take a while for an official dark theme, monitor brightness will take the strain off your eyes significantly.

I like the idea, but overlaying someone else's javascript over what's basically a wallet makes me nervous. (No offense, your javascript looks fine... or at least the js you're currently hosting ;))

If Steem took your css and make a user option for a dark theme I'd totally use it!

My own paranoid thinking is why I put all of the changes into an external CSS file instead of in the JS itself :)
Greasemonkey only loads the javascript from the remote server the first time when you install it, giving you a chance to audit the code before installation. Future js changes will not affect you unless you reinstalled the script.

I haven't really messed around with Greasemonkey, good to know that's how it works.

Still, I can imagine somebody doing something like this, waiting until it got a lot of upvotes and people saying it worked great and looked safe, then changing the js so any new people install sketchy javascript...

I've updated the post and theme to do what I can do address this. If you or anybody can think of a better, more secure way to do this I'm open to suggestions :)

Quality post. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks! I'm excited to find ways to contribute here, this place looks great :)

That is awesome!
Since you already did all the work, I wonder if the Steemit team could verify and host the files. (for security reasons)

Thanks - fingers crossed this speeds up access to an official dark theme :)
