Adjust Arch forum text with dark theme

I have written 2 greasemonkey scripts (these are usually helpful for people with dark themes):
- One that changes the subject box and buttons to white text

// ==UserScript==
// @name          Arch Linux Dark Text Fix
// @description   Displays dark text on an Arch Linux page.
// @include       http://bbs.archlinux.org/post.php*
// @include       http://bbs.archlinux.org/edit.php*
// ==/UserScript==

function addGlobalStyle(css) {
    var head, style;
    head = document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0];
    if (!head) { return; }
    style = document.createElement('style');
    style.type = 'text/css';
    style.innerHTML = css;
    head.appendChild(style);
}

addGlobalStyle('input { color:white; }');

- One that changes the message box to black text

// ==UserScript==
// @name          Arch Linux Light Text Fix
// @description   Displays light text on an Arch Linux page.
// @include       http://bbs.archlinux.org/post.php*
// @include       http://bbs.archlinux.org/edit.php*
// ==/UserScript==

function addGlobalStyle(css) {
    var head, style;
    head = document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0];
    if (!head) { return; }
    style = document.createElement('style');
    style.type = 'text/css';
    style.innerHTML = css;
    head.appendChild(style);
}

addGlobalStyle('textarea { color:black; }');

Save those into a text file with a .user.js extension and import them into greasemonkey.

Re: Adjust Arch forum text with dark theme

can you show a screenshot of what it does (with and w/o the script preferably)?  currently i use a variant of tjw's dark script, and i'm not seeing issues...

Well, a screenshot wouldn't be of use, because the text is a very dim white, and you wouldn't even be able to see it. Just imagine what it looks like

But here it is anyway. If you look really closely you can see the text "This is white text".

As for the dark text fix, you can look at this thread:
