This particular blog doesn't heed device settings and, as such, forces light mode on its readers.
The author also changes their mind halfway through and decides the problem is actually color contrast, not dark mode.
- Springtime 2y agoYeah their actual point is about contrast ratio, which makes the headline a bit disingenuous. Ironically they end by saying they'll use an invert filter as a workaround, while for those who prefer dark mode if doing the same on the author's own stark white bg/black text site (such as Vivaldi's 'Invert Mode') will produce the very contrast ratio in dark they're complaining about :p
- josephg 2y agoYeah - and an invert filter messes up photos. Again, like the author has on their blog. If you wanna argue that we shouldn't force dark mode, maybe don't go around forcing light mode. My eyes hurt.
- lewiscollard 2y agoThen un-mess them up :) html { filter: invert(1); } img { filter: invert(1); } Bookmarklet edition: javascript:(function(){var s=document.createElement("style");s.innerText="html{filter: invert(1);}img{filter: invert(1);}";document.head.append(s)})() (doesn't and can't fix CSS "background-image" but you'll live)
- gregmac 2y agoThe author's blog also explicitly defines color: #111; background-color: #fdfdfd; which is a contrast ratio of 18:56:1.
