Color issue when used together with dark theme

[AndhikaWB]

Text doesn't show when this library is used together with ggdark theme

library(ggdark)

data("love_words_small")
ggplot(love_words_small, aes(label = word, size = speakers)) +
  geom_text_wordcloud() +
  scale_size_area(max_size = 30) +
  dark_theme_minimal()

When not used with ggdark (ignore the overlapping text, too lazy to fix)

When used with ggdark (see code above)

Changing color to white via the color parameter also doesn't seem to produce white text, it will produce red/orange text instead

data("love_words_small")
ggplot(love_words_small, aes(label = word, size = speakers, color = 'white')) +
  geom_text_wordcloud() +
  scale_size_area(max_size = 40) +
  dark_theme_minimal()

Tested on both cairo (png) and svglite (svg) renderer

Here is my example Quarto markdown (.qmd) header:

knitr:
  opts_chunk:
    echo: true
    results: hold

    dev.args:
      scaling: 1.25

Let me look at this issue.

Oh wait, the scale_color_gradient works just fine, I just forgot to add the color argument on the ggplot function (gonna edit the original post soon)

The red/orange text issue when using color = 'white', however, is still reproducible

[lepennec]

For the color = 'white' issue, you should put color outside aes.

That said, it seems that there is a strange issue with the current library stack, as I cannot reproduce my own examples...

Hi @lepennec

I tried putting color = 'white' outside aes but the font color is now all black/blank (since the background is black too)

data("love_words_small")
ggplot(love_words_small, aes(label = word, size = speakers), color = 'white') +
  geom_text_wordcloud() +
  scale_size_area(max_size = 40) +
  dark_theme_minimal()

For now I'm using scale_color_gradient or other scale function as workaround
