PR was merged, update the Dark Blues style to check it out.

Need a few fixes like btn-primary hover colour, here's what you need to overwrite

.btn-primary:hover, .btn-primary:focus, .btn-primary:active, .btn-primary.active, .open .dropdown-toggle.btn-primary {
background-color: #5aa3a5;
border-color: #3f7273;
}

Thanks, I'm no CSS guru. I'll see if I can make a few more changes, I don't know if I'm the only person using this, but it's a major help for me. I'll try and get to the bottons and a few odds and ends tomorrow.

Been like 49 installs total. I'm no CSS guru either but can understand most of it ;)

@bashy,

Cleaned up the css a bit and added some changes that weren't displaying properly on my machine. OSX Yosemite. Sync'd and commited.

I would love to switch the whole laracast to a darker version not ruining my eyes ^^

Oddly, I'm not a fan of black & white themes. They feel dated to me.

However, I'm not saying that I don't like dark themes. I just think that dark themes need a lot of color.

@tylernathanreed Black and white? I've only changed the background and white areas :P I made it for whoever wants to use a dark theme. You're also welcome to change some styles on the git repo and I'll take a look.

Would love it if you could do something with the size of the header. It's better than it was but takes up more space than it deserves IMHO :P

@davestewart Done. If you're using the style, go to Manage Installed Styles and click update on the dark-background one :)

Nice one @bashy. Not so keen on the dark style myself, but here's a modification of yours with even less padding and a bit more alignment in the header :)

Yeah that's up to you :) can always add your own within the browser extension. I also didn't feel it needed to be squished up that much.
