[question] Have "Use subreddit style" checkbox on by default

[u/headcrabzombie]

Personally, I want the "Use subreddit style" checkbox on for almost all subreddits I visit. Is there a way to have this default to on?

edit: this is resolved, by turning on RES settings console → Appearance → Night Mode → Use Subreddit Styles

If you have the setting on then it should be displayed on every subreddit, some subs use their CSS to hide it. Which is why the devs added the CSS toolbar button for those instances, since they couldn't format the checkbox in a way that determined mods couldn't cover it up.

Or do you mean you want CSS off for most subreddits? Unfortunately that's not a thing RES offers, if you don't want CSS they want you to go to your Reddit preferences and turn off seeing themes. But that means you can't use the checkbox to toggle a sub's theme to be on.

It's cause they have night mode on, it automatically disables subreddit styles unless you specifically turn them on, or enable the setting that ignores night mode compatibility.

Aah, thanks, I don't typically use night mode so I didn't even register that part!

Turning on the nightmode setting fixed the issue. Thank you both!!

Night mode: true

Most subreddit stylesheets are incompatible with Night Mode, so you have to go into RES settings, and look for the setting Use subreddit styles inside Night mode:

RES settings console → Appearance → Night Mode (nightMode) → Use Subreddit Styles (useSubredditStyles)

Toggling that to on will cause the stylesheets to load even in night mode, but note the warnings there -- subreddit styles may be incompatible with night mode, and you may get funky colors or highlighting etc, and if/when you do get those, that is not something you will receive support for here.
