Dark Mode question

[Xiija]

semi non-lsl query , but related to these forums...

 

does anyone use the dark theme here?

i'm using it, and when i do, the posting area looks like this ...

I'm using a custom style script to lighten the posts enuff to read ...

so now it looks like this ...

Am i doing something wrong with the dark mode ?... or is everyone seeing the same thing.. a hard to read post area?

You're not doing anything wrong, LL hasn't set the theme up properly.

If you use chrome or a chrome-based viewer like Brave, try adding in Dark Reader which works very well (some drop menus are now beige on white for me but most works fine).   You can adjust the tone of the background as well as the text if I remember correctly.  For ME, this is what I see when it is on. It can be turned off on pages where it doesn't work (most work).

 

Here is what I see:

  let posts = document.getElementsByClassName("prettyprinted");
  var y;
  for (y = 0; y < posts.length; ++y){
      posts[y].style.cssText = "background:  #d7f1b3 !important;";
  } 
  
}, false);

Invision provides the themes, which can be edited, best raise a jira if it needs changes, so LL can get in and make the proper changes to the styling sheet

These were complained about "loudly" when the big changes came in --- maybe a year ago? Not sure. Nothing was done. So I don't think this is a major priority.

More like a month ago. The old dark theme (or the old white theme with Dark Reader) we had worked well enough. This new theme broke dark mode.

(And while I normally use the Dark Reader plugin, this new theme somehow manages to have some parts of the page stay completely white which is worse than reading black-on-black text.)

Ah, so they changed that too. Didn't know that.  Yes, for ME, the drop down menus don't work well and are white with yellow text.  There WERE however a ton of folks very unhappy with the original Dark Theme from the forums. Glad it worked OK for you.
