Dark version of MN for reading in the dark

Is this a really daft/difficult to implement idea?

I am lying next to DH, MNing on my iPhone and he is grumbling that I am disturbing him. On both twitter and kindle apps I can switch to dark screen with white text when I use phone in bed.

Is this something that might be possible for the iPhone app or the mobile site?

And can we call it Stealth Mode?

This isn't especially tricky, I threw this together in a few minutes whilst waiting for lunch to cook (copy & paste into address bar when viewing a mobile site page):

javascript:void($('head').append(''))

Unfortunately, iPhones don't do custom CSS, so we'd have to implement this server-side for it to work. If enough people clamour for it though, I'm sure we could look at adding an option for it.

So go ahead and clamour. If enough people think this would be a good idea, we can consider it further. Wink
