I love "dark mode" on Stack Overflow and prefer using it everywhere.
I cannot find the setting, and I've tried looking everywhere in the settings.
Does Super User have a Dark Mode? If so, how do I enable it?

2No, there is not. and the stackoverflow dark mode has serious issues, so perhaps stack exchange is using overflow as a test. They got some work to do yet– Jaromanda XCommented Oct 11 at 5:40

1I guess this is a touchy subject. This is getting down voted.– MoKiCommented Oct 13 at 12:01

1It may be getting downvoted because there are a variety of questions regarding this and a quick search would have shown that. Perceived lack of effort is a big reason for downvotes, in my experience.– music2myearCommented Oct 14 at 23:37

The html served from Stack Overflow versus other sites differs by a few lines. There has been available a MonkeyScript that supposedly worked on Stack Overflow prior to dark being enabled for all users ( gist.sharingeye.com/patrickroberts/… ) but it currently doesn't add an upper right button for quick toggling, probably due to changes to the site's html since it was written; though I suspect that it could be edited and fixed to work everywhere. See stackoverflow.blog/2020/03/31/… it's more than a simple change.– RobCommented Nov 4 at 12:45

There isn't one.
While in theory stacks (the design/theming engine behind modern SE) supports themes, the resources and will to develop alternate themes outside of Stack Overflow isn't there.
There's also historically been a backlog of sites with no theme, that the company has been working through over time.
Practically, I'd love the idea of a dark theme too but its unlikely to happen any time soon

2Heh, if it was as simple as pitching in what's needed we'd have a ton done by now– Journeyman Geek ModCommented Oct 12 at 10:33

Some days I wish I knew. I have a pretty big list of things I'd like to see, and that's somewhere around the middle.– Journeyman Geek ModCommented Oct 13 at 12:13
There's no, as of 2024-11, but just in case, there's an extension for the most common modern browsers - Dark Reader.
It should work out-of-the-box for the current version of both main and meta versions of Super User.
It should also work for the most Stack Exchange and various other websites out there with conventional/expected or not too complex stylesheet the extension's multiple algorithms can handle. If those does not result in anything desired, it sure features custom stylesheets to override or append.
By default, currently, it affects (namely "inverts") every website possible or as with a set deny-list, but there's an option to set it to affect only the chosen (i.e. allow-list) - "Invert listed only".
