If you look at the bottom of the main page (lower left) you will see a button that gives you style options. I have mine set to dark which is much better on my eyes but there are 6 or 7 different themes to choose from. Very cool option with the new software.
 
Is this feature only available to Admins & Moderators ?
I don't see it.
Perhaps a screen pic might help.

Look right there in the bottom left, it most likely says default. Click in thatbox and choose any style you want.
 
Bottom left where it says COOL BLUE

Then look down the Left Column under *your name*

... At the bottom of that is a "Customize My Style" menu.

You should probably save (copy/paste) the original settings, I show them as:

Background #ffffff
Text Color #343A3D
Border Color #BFC5C9

.. in case it gets goofed up and you just want to restart over from the way it used to be.
 
I cannot see 'cool blue' here.

I can only see 'go to' with a drop down arrow.

Perhaps it is only set for administrators, let me see if I can turn it on for all.

If you look at the bottom of the page, in the footer, you will see MOS GRID, click there to change your style
 
By the way, regarding to something better for someone's eyes: I use a program called f.lux. You can adjust the color temperature to suit your eyes. Helps a lot! As it is with many appliances (PC, TV, mobile phones), the blue light can mess up the circadian rhythm.
My own rhythm is very fudged up but when I do go to bed I can fall asleep easy. And I feel it's quite much due to the program to set the color temperature of your screen.
For my phone I use Night Shift.

For me the regular style is fine, together with the f.lux.
 
The only options I see are Default and MOS grid. MOS grid is what I've been using since the new overhaul of the forum. Are there any other options?

There are only two styles, the "MOS GRID" is the new style and will give you all the new features, updates, etc. The "Default Style" is the older standard style layout. Start trying to get familiar with the MOS GRID, it will eventually be the only style we use.
