i should probably make a new 88x31 button. one that isn't as flashy and isn't based off an old version of this site's look

I know some folks homebrew syncing with Syncthing, might be an option.

my thumbnail keeps switching between light and dark mode ........

I'm only seeing dark mode on my end for the thumbnail and profile picture.

Thank you for including the checker pattern toggle! Now I can visually enjoy it if I want AND read more easily- definitely helps a lot.

you could make a custom thumbnail: https://arandomsite.neocities.org/blog/custom-neocities-thumbnail

owlroost 2 years ago

Default colors (outside of the media query) as dark mode- aka set dark mode default by skipping the check for it. Then place a light mode check changing any relevant colors after that. Should do the trick afaik.

pencilvoid 2 years ago

that's actually quite similar to how i'm doing it already and it seems to have the same effect as just checking for dark mode. i love css

currently working on light mode colour schemes. i would describe them as "bright"

while i was working on them i found out that the fucked up CSS i use to create the checkerboard pattern has been causing the thing on the landing page to appear wrong all this time so that's fun

Shocked that was "wrong", looked intentional. Looks great either way tbh, that's what inspired me to start figuring out CSS animations.

does anyone who prefers/relies on light mode struggle to read the content on my website? are some pages worse than others?

owlroost 2 years ago

I prefer light mode. It's difficult for me to read text cast against the checkered background- I usually read at the bottom of the page where it's the solid color background. The contrast is great against the solid color. The purple pages are easiest to read. The green/teal ones are so-so on checks but the easiest by far against the solid color- the green on blue makes it pretty easy.

Orange pages are extremely hard to read against the checkered background (lacks contrast w/light orange squares) but fine against the solid color.

Article reader mode works great on pages that have it available, by the way- just checked while I was at it. If I remember right, article reader mode requires article tags and p tags with a certain word or character count to work/show up.

thank you for your insight! i've been wanting to add a light mode to the site for a long time but i was struggling to think of a way to go about it, your comment about the checkerboard is actually really helpful

There is a media check for light mode! @media screen and (prefers-color-scheme: light) {} should allow you to set colors for folks set to light mode. I use a dark mode check and CSS variables to set the color scheme for my own site.

the media check is a good idea but i might have to combine it with an in-browser toggle because i don't like that "prefers light mode" and "no preference" get lumped together lol

owlroost 2 years ago

Yeah, always did think that was weird. You can make dark mode the no preference default if you structure things right though.
