Should we add a dark theme to the forum? (and let you switch between the two)

Thank you for the feedback 🙂

I enabled a dark theme which can be selected at the bottom of the side bar.

What do you think?

That works well for me. But being picky , is it possible to tone down the blackness of the content area background? Something like used on Slack: #1a1d21 or Element: #15191e

Yeah that blackness was a bit extreme 🙂 Done!

Thank you for the specific suggestions, that made it easy.
