I hate websites with low contrast text.
How do you get this? Anything that tries to force a light mode?
This is how the site is supposed to look like (there is no light/dark theme selection):
I was reading the site on Android, and it looked dark, but after seeing this comment, I tried disabling Android system wide dark mode, and sure enough it became white like in the screenshot! For the record, I tried with both Firefox and a Chromium-based browser.
Thanks! I went and tried on my phone and indeed setting Firefox to light mode indeed causes that horrendous and unreadable result. I will need to figure out way, eventually, and provide an alternative light scheme.
I get the same white background on Windows, Chromium and Firefox. Checking settings, I see FF is set to "Automatic" light/dark mode. When I manually select Dark mode, I see the dark background.
I will have a look if there is something that suggests how to "make" a light theme. Thanks for the info!
Thanks for the feedback, and same to @[email protected] and @[email protected]. I fixed the configuration of the site and now the site should be readable even in light mode.
You're welcome! And yes, I can confirm it works in light mode as well :)
That's an interesting gotcha.
