@Null the Dark theme has a cyan cast over everything - the Kiwi green is super blue, as are any of the orange colored tags. Kick the cyan down a few notches overall?

The difference between read and unread watched threads is much too subtle. That tiny dot is far too easy to miss, especially compared to the older themes:
I second this. I didn't even realize the dot was there until you mentioned it. Having the title be bold on the previous theme was much easier to spot, but if we don't want to do that, can we at least make the dot the same bright green as the title?
 
Seriously though Null, losing the option to make the font larger is huge. I come here to read shit and laugh and now it's way harder for my eye to read the shit to laugh at. it I'm fucking upset.

Edit: everything else with the new theme is fine, it's just too fucking small.
Push Ctrl + "+" to make the font larger manually. It stays that way until you delete cookies.
 
I like the new theme, my only complaint is the vertical spacing at the bottom of posts.

If it's possible to increase the vertical gutters around the reactions and the "report/like/quote/reply" bar, it would be a bit easier on the eyes. As it is now, it looks a bit cramped.
 
The site looks great. Our Dear Leader does good work.

I don't see small text.
It is somehow sharper looking to me. The old font must have been fuzzy or something?

For those interested, I'm having a very particular issue, and figured out a workaround.

I've enabled Chrome's experimental Dark Mode.

So when loading the forum, the background and footer area look like this:

Since this is incredibly grating on my eyes, I came up with a little Tampermonkey script that, for whoever has the same issues as mine, removes the footer entirely and forces maximum width on the forum area.
JavaScript:
// ==UserScript==
// @name         Kiwifarms full width + no footer
// @namespace    http://tampermonkey.net/
// @version      0.1
// @description  Removes sidebars and footer from forum area
// @author       Ceral Funt
// @match        https://kiwifarms.net/*
// @grant        none
// ==/UserScript==

(function() {
    'use strict';
    document.getElementsByClassName("p-body-inner")[0].style.setProperty("max-width","100%","important");
    document.getElementById("footer").remove();
})();

Each page will still load initially with the reduced maximum width, but as soon as it finishes loading, the script will force it to cover the entire viewport width.

Feel free to use it at your leisure.

EDIT: Fucking missed something in the code (having it work on the main homepage). Fixed now.

Notifications are more difficult to see now at a glance, since the number is smaller than before and appears with a very similar color to the background. When the color was red, it was easy to glance at and see if you had any notifications/how many there were. Now, it's more difficult.

Also, for some reason highlighting my own text in my reply box (before posting) appears with a black highlight, though my system is set to highlight in purple. It's not really a huge deal, it just looks inconsistently weird and I don't know if it's a feature or a bug.

This is what I'm talking about. If that notification were red and slightly larger, it would be a lot easier to see.

thanks for cuing me in, I thought the only things left were light and dark via the little lightbulb icon.

long live red theme

everything looks the same to me otherwise which I consider a win

The front page of the forums looks weird in tablet landscape mode (safari). Everything is kinda squeezed together into two long columns. It looks like its stretching the divs in a way you don’t intend, but I don’t know if it’s intentional or not.

Portrait looks fine. Regular forums are also fine in landscape, it’s just the front page.

I like it that way I am sick of looking at that fucking red number for weeks at a time.
