This is a real issue for me at times. I have a dark theme set in Gnome, because I want dark system windows, but lots of sites don't bother setting their colours properly, so if I open the Web UI for my Ubiquiti Router, or one of my switches, and try to select a drop-down, the background of it is dark, like my system theme, and the text is dark, so I can't see what I'm choosing.
Other times, like if I'm entering text into the Name field for ports on my switch (Ubiquiti) the background is white, the text is white and so I can't see what I've entered until I select all.
These aren't such a big issue so much as an irritation, but, lets same I'm trying to login to something, at times I can't see the username/email I've entered until I highlight, not such an issue for passwords because we do this blindly anyway most of the time.
I'd prefer if Firefox wasn't using my system UI elements at all, but even toggling the hidden config doesn't seem to make any difference there.
- _trampeltier 8y agoWould be cool, if websites would ask, if you like bright or dark website.
- michaelmrose 8y agoDo you want a pop up every time you browse a page?
- jayd16 8y agoThey can throw it in the popup that tells me about cookies.
- michaelmrose 8y agoHow about a global setting that the user can set once which is what we have now.
- alias_neo 8y agoSomething like the Docker solution would be fine; https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/builder/ https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/builder/ (Note, the right hand bar and thus the toggle isn't visible on mobile or narrow windows) There is a toggle, between day/night mode in the right hand bar on the page, it lets you toggle between the dark and light themes with a click.

- alias_neo 8y agoI'm not so worried about the theme of the site as I am about being able to read and enter text. I'd be perfectly happy with "just" Firefox not using system controls and using some default. Asking for a site that can change themes seems to much to ask of a web developer (/jk)
