Dark Mode?

I did a quick search and didn't see anything on this so; what's the chance of us getting a "dark mode" for DU? On a 32" monitor, with HDR enabled, it's blinding? There is tons and tons of white space here.

HDR option is supposed to be brighter, so maybe you could turn that off. Surely you have some other controls over your monitor itself. On the computer side, I think on Macs you can turn on dark mode any time. If you are Win, just search for it.

I have my monitor brightness way down, but still prefer no white space.

I have it on Firefox. It or ones like it might be available for your browser.

Now, every website is dark-based. It's usually quite good, but when it makes a site more difficult, it is easily disengaged for specific sites.

DU looks great.
