Heya! So, I am looking into whether or not it's possible to make colors consistently, automatically swap between default and dark mode site skins. I'm not suuuure it will be, but I've got some digging to do because the stuff I need is a few clicks deep on the site, I think.
In the meantime, you can achieve something that's more dark mode friendly in a couple of different ways:
- by adjusting the hex codes. Specifically, #242424 is the one you'll want to change. That's dark gray, and you can adjust it to something that plays nice against both light and dark backgrounds (reds & pinks, certain higher saturation blues, greens). To do this quickly, pick out the hex code for the color you'd like to use, and then put the code into a text editor like Notepad++ or gdocs, then use find-replace to replace every instance of #242424 with your new color.
- (imperfect, but) by removing non-crucial instances of #242424, most of the text, at least, will be automatically changed to off-white on dark mode displays while still being black in default site skin. Lemme see if I can't do that for you. One sec, going to try posting it in another comment replied to this one.
