does IMDB have a "dark mode" theme for the forums and Submission center? If not, can one be brought up to be created?

I find myself leaving the Submission center open so that i can rapidly go from one screen to another on my PC when watching movies and shows, but, lacking a themed "Dark mode" like cellphones and social media sites have, its too bright to leave open and i have to minimize it.  to better help those who use PC's to watch content and have multiple monitors,   does IMDB Have such a theme or a setting for the site?

This is the IMDB Main Page, Super Mario Brothers Entrance Page - both follow the dark theme,  BUT, then..... going to the Contributions Page and leaving the main movie title page..... notice, the Dark Theme gets taken away.

These forums also do not adhere to the Dark Theme as you can see here. 

That is what I am asking about,  These forums, contributions and submissions.  Not the Main Page or a Title's specific page.

Why is that?  If one page has a dark theme, all of them under the IMDB Domain should follow that theme.  Because of that, I cannot leave the Contributions page up for a specific title and watch the movie or content.

then why do the forums here and the submission pages not adhere to it? 

You missed what i am asking,  it works on the MAIN PAGE,  but it does not work on the Community pages.  Like Goof Submissions or these very forums. 

It still runs a White Background with contrasting black text.

On smartphones running Android OS, I use the web browser known as Kiwi, but I've never had any reasonable success finding anything like it for desktop devices that run Windows, except that an old version of Firefox does seem to honor the theme I've assigned for the local device account I use. Maybe I and others should check MajorGeeks to see if there is anything.

@jeorj_euler​ i would rather push interest to IMDB to fix this issue so that we do not have to run older outdated browsers or have to use specialty browsers exclusive to a mobile device. 

I do 90% of the things on IMDB from my desktop or my laptop.

O, absolutely! I understand. Unfortunately the the folks who configured this forum may take a few years to implement and integrate a simple cascading style sheet (CSS) description rule (using the "@media(prefers-color-scheme:dark)" function-and-parameter of course) for this purpose. Similar would be the case for the  website hosted through the actual IMDb domain name, but the time frame is contingent upon the progress of the migration from the last generation IMDb software platform to the current/emerging one.

You know what, come to think of it, I don't know that using a CSS expression containing "@media(prefers-color-scheme:dark)"  would necessarily work in regards to the desktop experience, at least in regards to Windows 7 and even older models of Microsoft's flagship operating system. I think this may be why a lot of websites explicitly provide a toggle switch in their respective interfaces, for the purpose of displaying in either "day mode" or "night mode". A great plurality, if not a majority, of desktop (including laptop) computer operators have long since moved on to Windows 11, there for many people probably don't have to worry, assuming they even care about something like web page brightness.

@jeorj_euler​ i disagree,  nearly every website i visit almost daily has the option for light/dark modes.  my email boxes, prime example, all have light/dark modes, facebook ( obviously ), Youtube. 

i just find it interesting that the domain itself does not apply the settings to the community portion nor the contributions portion of the entire imdb domain.

The content of the message I'm trying to post appears in the following screen cap:

Some kind of automated script being run by the forum administrator keeps deleting it.

Ah, yes. My apologizes. I kind of assumed that no email notifications were being sent. I will conduct further "tests" elsewhere.

Sorry for the abruptness,  i was like what is going on, why am i getting 10 back-to-back-to-back emails.....

FYI certain words and phrases will Auto-delete,  but mind you,  they see those flags also. 

You can get banned for doing that.   Best to speak to a forum mod/admin and test it in a controlled environment.

You're right, CapStar362. We must all be careful with spamming the system, whether intentionally or unintentionally.
