Dark mode bugs

mrjeeves

Well, if I don’t write these down, I’ll end up forgetting them, and there’s bound to be quite a few…

A tick here does NOT mean that the feature is live, just that I have fixed it. (It will often take at least a day or so before preview is updated to include these changes).

Tags page
- Subtags labels are dark
Post composer
- Tag selection textbox text colour is black
- Loading overlay (between clicking post and it closing) is white
- fof/upload button needs to be styled
- post preview button needs to be styled
Posts
- Reactions aren’t styled correctly
- “Edited” text is a tad too dark for my liking
- Transparent avatars have white background
- Usernames on deleted posts are dark
- ~~BA embed~~ URLs have dark underlines
- Task lists have dark icons
- Time gap elements lack sufficient text contrast
Flagging
- Flagging dialog options are black
Discussion lists
- Subtags on read posts lack sufficient contrast
Loading spinner is both non-giffgaff and dark
Header links
- Dropdown gets background when hovered/focused
- Opening dropdown turns main link text black (both theme issue)
- No underline on hover/focus for main dropdown links
Member profile
- Settings
  - Follow Tag settings select is black when opened
  - Theme dropdown is black when not opened (main theme)
- Posts
  - Best Answer embed is light
- Community stats aren’t dark
Discussion pane isn’t dark at all

If you find an issue, please just reply here with a screenshot of it so I can ~~think about fixing~~ fix it.

@alex_w#37306819 we are aware that some elements of the styling are not currently working as intended

mrjeeves your list of defects is a bit more than “some”! 😃 😛

Shhhhhh my dark mode styles were like cooled down spaghetti that’s stuck to the bottom and sides, to each other, and the ends have begun to dry out! (It was a mess…)

I opted to rewrite it all as opposed to fixing the mess that already existed.

It will all be fixed… eventually…

It’ll be worth it once there’s no more bugs… so in about 5 years then?
