After a beta test by our lovely patrons I am proud to announce that tempStyle 2 Black is now available to all!

As requested, compared to the current Dark theme; tempStyle 2 Black is just that - black. It features completely blacked out backgrounds across the site, which should be optimal for OLED displays.

The entire site has been skinned, but as always, if you notice anything we might have missed or any inconsistencies or just have any general feedback on the thread - please let us know below!

To change skin simply choose the skin selector in the footer (bottom-left) or click here and choose 'tempStyle 2 Black'!

Please enjoy!

Finally!!!! Keep this forever please!

Samsung's amoled screens benefit from this so much! Every app I have is black! Not gbatemp is too!

I just noticed something that perhaps it's not a bug @shaunj66 , but it would for sure help if it's touched upon.
When you get a new notification, the highlighted notifications are barely distinguishable (if at all) between the non-read ones and the already-read ones.

I would suggest choosing a different colour for the non-read notifications to better distinguish them from the already read ones.
Perhaps a lighter colour to help distinguish them, or a different, it's up to you guys.

Do you want it to be Patron-only? As far as I'm concerned, everyone being able to use it is a good thing.

THEN where's the incentive to encourage normal tempers to become Patron?

Becoming a patron is supporting the site, not DLC.

This is simply perfection. I'm truly shocked.

If it was paid for... I would just use a plugin to change the colors like I was doing before these templates came out...

i would still be cool if this theme is for patron only, so be cool and gbatemp could earn more patrons thanks to this...

That's not how it works, and not how it should work either.

It was for patrons only during the beta testing phase, but the intended goal is to make it available to everyone.

Sadly, no money to go into something like that.

The Patreon wasn't setup to put site features behind a paywall, that's a shitty way to treat users and we're not EA.

The incentives for donating are mainly to support the site. Patrons also get to take part in the quarterly Patreon only raffle, and for higher tiers can go ad free. Other than that, you're just donating to help support the site.
