Night theme #126

I know this is a sooper silly :joy_cat: and definitely unnecessarily complicated idea, but:

We know the TW blue and TW logo both work magnificently on a black background: what do you say about POTENTIALLY adding a "night mode" to the twnet site? Enable it after 11pm, keep it up until 4am or so and it functions as a night-mode easter egg for our sleepless Tesla Workians, plus providing a much-needed service for the eyes!

Goofy, it's late, but I thought of it. @mplewis starred some repo called "Nightweb" and I immediately thought that's what it was, ha!

Distant, distant future, if ever. :)

Sounds like a fun idea. Can you coordinate it to the local time of an IP address?

taylortrimble commented 11 years ago

Oh, good catch! Yeah, we could probably do something request/user-specific.

This is incredibly silly but on second look I like it a lot. Can we make it a CSS only change? I think we can.

Precizzle. :wink:

mplewis commented 11 years ago

Approach: Do this with a JS-triggered CSS swap. That way we can get the user's local time straight from their PC.

AND we don't need to do conditional resource serving, thus ruining the value of having a static resource. I could dig it.
