And while I'm at it, I might as well make these two into actual installable themes. Most of the work is already done anyway. :)

Any chance of making them installable themes? Would be much appreciated.
They are just CSS files running in Stylus. If you wanted them as actual SMF themes you could do it simply by appending the CSS to the SMF default theme, with the most sensible option probably being to just add another call for the custom CSS file after the others.

This would not be elegant, because the current CSS relies on a lot of fairly brutal overrides of the default CSS, but it would work, and it's something anyone can easily do if they really want to.

I m not currently using SMF on any sites other than this one, so I have little incentive to put in a lot of work.

The best way is to either use Dark Reader (available for Firefox, Chrome or Microsoft Edge), or the Vivaldi web browser which has the feature built in. It's not a perfect solution but it should work well enough.
The CSS I wrote already deals with this stie's custom content.

Hey, Ant, good to see you again. :)
When in Emor, do as the Snamors.
