Since you are redesigning UI features, are there any plans for a site-native dark theme? Seeing as there already multiple code themes available, it seems within the context of the configurable UI part of the goal. There have been Stylish themes for gitlab in the past but they break a lot because gitlab is a very large website to try restyling from the outside.

Solarized-dark with a white frame can be quite grating on the eyes.

All of my other code workflow (terminal and editor) is in a dark theme, having to switch to GitLab to review an MR can actually be quite uncomfortable to do because there's such a leap in contrast.

The dark theme I use is Dracula[1], it's a really beautiful theme and if there was a way to view GitLab using it it'd be incredible.

Did you know GitLab has themes? https://www.dropbox.com/s/p6b8yupsw4opsuu/Screenshot%202017-...

The point was that while the code frame has a dark theme, the webpage around it still blasts you with light, which causes the strain. GitLab doesn't support themes across the whole website (yet?)

I'd love native support for a dark theme! As a workaround, I've found darkreader's (browser extension) default handling of Gitlab's light UI elements to be exactly what I want. It handles about 90% of other sites I frequent effortlessly and is easily toggled with a keyboard shortcut.

There is an issue for that https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/18596. It has not been our priority as we have been working on the navigation but it is something we are keeping in mind for future focus :)
