> I think the issue should be fixed by the browser vendor really. Yes, I agree. Or whoever built the dark theme. They should be checking whether inputs have been overrided with styles for both background/color or none.
Funnily enough I think this is specific to Linux, I've not encountered this issue under Windows, and I don't think macOS has a dark mode.

#122Pretty tangential, but with AMOLED screens, I really hope society starts embracing a dark-mode default for interfaces. There is no reason to use light-mode with modern screens. It's taxing on the eyes, probably not good for kids and teens who are using screens 4 hours a day and it doesn't seem to offer benefits over dark-mode in terms of accessibility. It's nice to see more and more websites and operating systems pro…
Google Maps alternates between light and dark based on ambient light. That's the optional behavior I want for all apps. I use the Android feature to invert all colors at times.

I prefer reading black text on white screens, thank you very much. Code in an editor is different because syntax highlighting is better on black.

But, every company wants their app be a glorified ad for the app I'm already using, and wants it to use their branding: their colors, their fonts, their precise level of rounded corners.
I just want to have a consistent UX that allows me to get shit done.

Dark mode on any Mac display results in massive reflections -- like a mirror -- unless you work in a near-dark office.

Just found it! https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/rendering.html#phrasi... "The initial value for the 'color' property is expected to be black. The initial value for the 'background-color' property is expected to be 'transparent'. The canvas's background is expected to be white."
If I read it correctly, what you just quoted is within the context of the element.

Hmm... no. Google Maps alternates between light and dark based on ambient light. That's the optional behavior I want for all apps. I use the Android feature to invert all colors at times.
