Hope this helps. Also hope this is not against rules.
- First of all, head to C:\Users\*window_username*\Documents\BYOND\Skins\exadv1\spacestation13
Or, when in-game, right click title bar > "Client" > "Edit Skin..."
---
- Now, you should see these files, minus my backup one, inside the folder:
---
- Open skin.dmf or skin.dme, both should lead to this window:
Bunch of stuff inside the "Windows" frame.
---
- Now, to the actual editing part.
Copy & paste to create a backup skin.dmf is highly recommended.
For the each of the following editing steps, you would follow these few steps first:
Double click the object you wish to edit under "Windows".
Right click on the screen above "Layout Controls".
Check this image below for accurate and informative description of areas altered.
- rpane
The topmost buttons. Wiki, forums, etc.
"Edit rpane" > "Skin" tab > edit "Background" color
-
- infowindow
The tabs, buttons and the small information window above chat.
"Edit info" > "Appearance" tab > edit "Background" color and "Foreground" color
You may also change colors of tabs in "Tabs" tab.
-
- outputwindow
The chat window, the major white area on the screen.
"Edit output" > "Appearance" tab > change "Background" color and "Foreground" color
Note that changing chat background color may cause certain channels difficult to see, OOC, Deadchat and Alpha for example.
---
- Save and done.
Alternative method (Windows)
► Show Spoiler
- Right click anywhere on your desktop.
- Personalize.
- Change color / theme (High Contrast, etc).
---
I tried this a while ago, downsides:
- It erases text on interface buttons. (Can be partially countered by main method above)
- it doesn't change the output window.
- it's a window customization, it changes everything.

I hope our devs just do like that Oracle server and make the server have a night theme by default

A night theme would be great, some contrast that is less jarring than max black/max.
