If there was a ranking of the most requested Deckstats features, one of them would almost certainly be on top: dark mode.
For various technical reasons it has been a long road to make this happen. However, I am excited to announce that dark mode will finally become available in the next few days!
As part of this work I also made a whole range of additional changes to our design, trying to make everything look a bit more modern and clean. I'm preparing to publish all of these changes by
this Wednesday (Dec 22) but I thought I'd already give everyone a quick heads up today.
Here is an overview over what you can expect:
- A general overhaul of our design - I have kept the light color scheme similar, but modernised the layout and cleaned up a bunch of details. Some buttons will move around a bit and some pages may look a little different, but the core functionality has not changed and everything should be easy to find.
- Dark and light themes - you will be able to toggle to dark mode with a switch at the bottom of the page, or let the site adjust automatically based on your OS settings.
- Improved deck preview images on social media - when you share a Commander deck on sites like reddit, Twitter or Discord, the old 'color stripes' will be replaced with the high-res artwork from the commander. For other formats you can select a card to highlight by adding "!Highlight" in its comment field.
- Improved mobile layout in the forums - making the forums work well on small screens will still require some further work, but they will at least be a bit more usable than they are right now.
