I post this in feature request because looking at it now in this state, dark theme is practically unusable for dark sites.
There are white areas everywhere... and i do mean everywhere, even properties like "background: #FFF;" are used all over the place. Borders are bright #CCC
Some areas like file uploader in group discussion is completely useless as there is that popup with FFF background that inherits font color from Joomla template which usually is... white-ish

Forms, textareas, dropdown hovers, select fields are all using different classes for every item.
Thats how for example, the comment textarea wont be styled same on photo comments and for instance stream comments... im just taking the random example...
"Relationship" field use different styles than classic Select dropdowns which to me, makes no sense... but then again, if you want it like that its okay, but at least style the relationship fileld to be dark as other selects, and not grayish white with white letters in it inherited from Joomla template.

I could go on and on trust me, but one thing is for sure
Get your designers together, install the dark Joomla template, and use dark ES theme, then just start using component. You will see how silly and totally not dark site-friendly it is.
Thanks so much for the feedback. We will replicate the styling issues with dark Joomla's template and will have a fix in the upcoming release. Thanks again and sorry for the inconvenience.

No problem

Just pointing that out. Most people with dark/black sites actually don't want to see any white areas on any kind of elements, begining with form fields, through backgrounds and borders all the way to even different set of default avatars, but ES's are greyish so that is not a problem.
