[long76]

please add dark variant, thanks!

What do you mean exactly by a dark "variant" or "version"?

Do you mean a standalone dark version of the theme that could be applied globally to all users in Redmine settings?

Or are you referring to supporting each user's operating system dark mode?

yes, dedicated variant. would be opale and opale-dark

Sorry for the late reply.

From my point of view, what you’re asking for is indeed a dark version (so you can define one or the other of the versions in the settings). What I call a variant would actually be that the colors adapt to the user’s OS dark mode.

In any case, it would be quite a bit of work to choose the appropriate colors.

I won’t create a dark version of the theme myself. But it’s presumably doable by anyone who knows Sass (that’s what the theme is designed for: to be customizable). The simplest approach would be to do it with the custom theme builder script by redefining the default color codes.

As for a color variation that adapts to the OS dark mode, maybe one day. But for now it isn’t a priority. The main difficulty remains choosing the appropriate colors.

I see, thanks!

@long76, a fork exists : Opale Dark. You might give it a try 😉
