Yes, it's such an obscure feature that many of the people who enable it don't even realize it... Ever since I added dark mode to gwern.net, I've been getting or seeing complaints about how my website is broken or 'defaults to black-on-white' (it doesn't). :(
- _bxg1 7y agoHuh... It's weird to me that someone who has that enabled on their OS (even if they didn't realize it) would be upset about it on a website.
- 2038AD 7y agoThat's silly of them. The only problem I've noticed is that images are inverted when they shouldn't be (e.g. on hover or the enlarged view).
- saagarjha 7y agoI enjoy the prefers-color-scheme support!
- chrfrasco 7y agoLooks like we need prefers-prefers-color-scheme
- gwern 7y agoBut then what happens when they forget opting into the opting in?!
- gwern 7y agoIn all seriousness, because people keep not realizing or forgetting, we're adding a 'theme switcher' little widget. I dislike the need, but lots of people genuinely like dark mode, and this seems to be the best compromise.
- arc-in-space 7y agohey gwern, I personally really appreciate the dark mode support.
- Cthulhu_ 7y agoI've had a similar thing where people were complaining our app was in English (it was for a Dutch company), apparently people get confused about the preferences they themselves have set.
