Do you take your theme light or dark or nublu?
Thanks to hard working member campionidelmondo's custom styles, we've added a theme switcher.
If you refer to the footer, you'll notice a new line labeled "Theme" below the page size links. You now have the option of using the usual old white and blue or going into dark mode. You no longer need Firefox or any special plug-ins to access the alternative style. Just click the link and away you go.
Thanks campionidelmondo!
Note: Channel and charter profile styles have higher precedence, so don't be surprised if your selected theme doesn't appear when you're browsing such a section of the site.
Update: Another theme (also by campionidelmondo) is now available called NuBlu. To enable it, just click the link on the theme line at the bottom of the page.

paul4dirt"Black websites use a lot less energy"

That's probably true since the backlight of an LCD is always full on, it's going to use about the same amount no matter what it's displaying.

But, I think I'm wrong (once again)
From Some Dirty Fucking Hippie Website (cross posted from Digg):
"What about LCD monitors? I keep hearing that is makes no difference what color they display, or that they even use more energy displaying black over white.
Answer: Another big misconception. LCD monitors have a light behind the screen that is always on, so white is usually the most efficient color to produce; you just let the light shine through. Black on the hand requires the light to be completely blocked, and this takes energy. So, on the face of it, white would always be cheaper than black to create on LCD screens. Turns out this is mostly true, and on average, takes less than a watt of energy to do.
But there more, because some clever LCD manufacturers check how dark the screen is, and if it's very dark they dim the backlight; this saves energy. The Roberson study found this was true for every LCD monitor, Techlogg found it was primarily true for monitors over 24 inches wide. This doesn't save much energy, tops 4 watts, but it does save some. So, LCD technology has changed over time, and it is true that the differential between displaying white and black is much tighter than CRT monitors, a few watts at most."
