- Palomides 4y agoI get #3c484e text with weight of 200

- PKop 4y agoOK I didn't know this was against the rules, I see it on here often. Small quibble: difficulty to actually read the submission doesn't seem completely tangential.
- bitforger 4y agoHey! Author here. I've noticed on certain mobile devices the contrast can be weird, not sure why. I updated the default theme's text color to be 10% darker, lmk if that looks better to you.
- slater 4y agoChiming in here w/ same complaint ;) On macOS (display: 15.4-inch, 2880 × 1800), it's really difficult to read. I set the font to ''400 1.2rem/1.5 "Fira Sans",sans-serif'' and color to #111 in dev tools, way better readability. (sidenote: is Fira Sans a default installed font on Linux systems? I'm on macOS and don't have that, and don't see a font embed anywhere in your source code. So that might be the issue - 'sans-serif' at 200 weight is way too faint)
- PKop 4y agoPretty sure it's the font-weight that needs increased, when you do the current color is fine.
