Ahoy,

at least on my monitor, the night mode is a little bit dull. If I’m the only one who thinks so (could be due to my old monitor), that’s fine, I’ll find a local workaround. :)

How about this diff?

Code:
diff --git a/nightmode_toggle.js b/nightmode_toggle.js

index fa2e4b0..1ef2124 100644

--- a/nightmode_toggle.js

+++ b/nightmode_toggle.js

@@ -19,7 +19,7 @@ var lightCol = [

 var darkCol = [

     'rgb(125, 125, 125)',

     'rgb(20, 20, 20)',

-    'rgb(99, 139, 131)',

+    'rgb(82, 168, 152)',

     'rgb(33, 33, 33)',

     'rgb(27, 27, 27)',

     'rgb(125, 191, 184)',

This slightly increases lightness and saturation of link/button colors. It’s just a minor tweak.

Here are some screenshots for comparison:

What do you think?

While we’re at it, is there anything else we should tweak?

A minor tweak with a great effect. I like it.

I've applied the change so that everyone can try it first hand.
Let me know if you prefer it.

Perhaps give a bit more contrast to the gray text ?

To be fair, I prefer the "Day mode", so don't take my ideas too seriously ;)
