GEM: help pages unreadable in dark mode

Open dromer opened this issue 2 years ago • 2 comments

Because all these help files have very bright backgrounds and dark mode switches to a light font we cannot read them.

What would be a good solution here? should we just remove these backgrounds? I know this would be a lot of work to manually adjust though.

But it would be great if the help files are readable for any style/mode.

The only way I see right now is to use gray instead of white for dark mode comments. here is the result with grey value of 128, we can read it, except for the fact that the comments are still overlapping.

Yeah better comment rendering in general would also be nice of course, still quite some divergence from pd on that.

So adjusting the Comment text setting to something like #808080 is indeed a usable compromise for now. Maybe that should be the default for the dark themes? (I'm using fangs right now)
