Yes, rather I guess I meant to signal a failure on my part to see any difference with how it's always been since all the way back in SMF?

Updated the site again with the latest commits from the Github repo.
This means, some bugs are fixed, some remain, and some new ones were introduced with the brilliant goal of Fixed > Introduced !
There were fixes pretty much everywhere, and there are still several that I am aware of but the fixes are not yet committed. There were also some theme fixes to both light and beSocial.
As always report them as ya find them.

Honestly? I think it's pretty crude at this stage. A lot of the detailing seems to be a backwards step from the original. It works, but it's visually clunky.
However, obviously I can make it look any way I want it to look, if I really want to, so...

Yep, I got myself back to the Light variant somehow. Can't remember exactly how I did it, but basically "ok, try this now and see what happens".
The WebAIM site is a very good resource. I use it a lot. One of the things I have noticed about dark themes is that I find them much easier on the eyes if everything is balanced for contrast ratios. IOW, body text, link text, titles, etc (and taking into account that a larger font-size and/or higher font-weight gives the visual impression of higher contrast for the same colours). If not all backgrounds are the same, I often don't use the same text/link colours on all backgrounds.
I tend to use the contrast checker a lot as a starting point, then tweak things from there to compensate for font-size and font-weight. I don't always go for passing WCAG AAA either. From memory, I think WCAG AA is the usual standard for most countries, and dyslexic users (not an insignificant percentage) find too much contrast makes their dyslexia worse (the text starts crawling around the page for them) so there are arguments for not using too much contrast in a default theme. Black on white, or the inverse, are way too harsh, IMO.
