We need a "Dark mode"

Using LibraryThing in night is being very uncomfortable because of the Light mode.
We really need a DARK MODE.

Dark Mode can be achieved by adding the Stylus plugin and a set of CSS definitions. I have a set that transforms most of the colors.

The book list pages which are still the LT1.0 style of layout and identifiers is proving to be tedious to fix for certain table backgrounds. But the whole is considerably darker elsewhere.

I have not looked at some of the pages like graphs, the wiki, and others which probably also have issues that are not addressed.

In other words, it is not complete and probably not as good as LT will someday make it when they finish the LT2.0 transformation. But if it is really causing pain to users, I can share what I have so far and you can make further adjustments. CSS is complex at times but it is possible to learn with some effort.
