Never though about this before, but, dark themes have only recently become widespread, so I'm not necessarily faulting web devs on this.

- chrisseaton 8y agoIt's not about dark themes - I don't think it was ever right to set one colour without the other as I don't believe (may be wrong) that the CSS or HTML standard ever said anything about default colours?
- lucideer 8y agoDark themes are just exposing these bugs in sites. They're still bugs, dark theme or not—this only occurs when a developer explicitly sets the BG/FG colour without setting a corresponding FG/BG colour—which would always be an oversight/accident. This doesn't occur if a developer does nothing.
- sneakernets 8y agoIt's always been there, just called something like "High Contrast" or "Plasma".
- chriswarbo 8y ago> dark themes have only recently become widespread Have they? I've been having this problem for around 15 years :( Nice to see it brought up somewhere so prominent though!
- jolmg 8y agoI'm pretty sure dark (or at least custom) themes came before the web.
- jeroenhd 8y agoI've seen people that had their default background colours to dark green since the Windows 95 era. This is not a new trend. It's just not as common anymore as it used to be back when you as a user could specify easily how you want your system to look.
