Hi Mkovnick,
I assume you have already found this since your post. But just in case your still looking (or anyone else):
https://extras.modx.com/package/modxdarktheme?version=2.0.0-pl
This is one that supports 3.x.
Have a good one!

Confirmed here too - can’t download.

There is something wrong on the MODX extras side. The version (0.0.0) and date (1969-12-30) being fetched are wrong:
Downloading manually from the MODX site and the uploading to a site works.

I’m wondering if the transport was uploaded before 3.0.3 release and then something wend wrong due to database field settings. This date issue seems reminiscent of a patch I submitted a long time ago to fix security issues for hardening 2.6.X or 2.7.x regarding Mysql/Maria secure mode.
Setting NULL or out of range or 00-00-0000 dates can cause issues in newer versions of maria and mysql when in secure mode.
I would like to revisit this soon to investigate, however, unless I detect a security issue in the core database generating code (i.e. null or similar date issue) it’s not a priority for pull request at this time, and that would be a separate issue/bug report/patch.
Yes, I am bumping this “technically” older thread because I really want to use Dark Theme again but it has been broken since 3.1 came out. I’ve tried installing on multiple installs to no avail, MODX menus go haywire and I have to revert back to standard.
Does anyone have information about a fix coming for this much desired working extra?
Maybe open an issue on Github, so that the author of the extra is made aware of the issue with MODX 3.1.
Or open a pull request if you can fix it yourself.

Thanks @halftrainedharry. I created a GitHub account and made the issue post. I see he has just shipped out other updates to other Extras so hopefully, he can fix this one without too much work.
As of now, MODX 3.x doesn’t include a built-in dark theme for the Manager. However, you can achieve a dark mode using custom CSS or browser extensions like ‘Dark Reader.’ There are also some community-created themes and tweaks available—check the MODX Extras repository or forums for potential solutions. If you’re comfortable with CSS, you can override the default styles in the Manager UI to create your own dark theme. Hope that helps!
In case anyone is reading this in the future, Matdave has updated the Extra and we now have Dark Theme again in MODX 3.1 and up. And it was sure popular after the overhaul, according to the top recently downloaded extras in MODX. I updated on day 1 on all my MODX sites.
