Hello!

I've noticed in the Desktop Improvements feedback that you were asking for a Dark mode wikipedia. You might want to look at this dark theme: User:Aron Manning/Skin themes. Enjoy.

Hello, and thanks for the suggestion! :) I haven't got the time yet to try it out, but I already saw n the screenshots a few potential accessibility issues (e.g. text in serif font everywhere). Is this theme still in development?

I plan to be working on the theme for the coming months on-and-off and to integrate parts of it into current skins, if the developers agree.

I've added the Noto Sans and Poppins (for headings) fonts to the style now. It can be enabled in editor boxes: Special:GlobalPreferences#mw-prefsection-editing As I remember the default was sans.

The article font has no user setting yet, thus serif is the default (Vector skin has sans - Arial - as default). It seems a user setting will be necessary for this, but it would be best, if the skins could detect if sans font should be used. Could you elaborate on the circumstances that necessitate the use of sans font?
