On my dark-themed GTK on Firefox 95.0b4, the Liquorix website is illegible.The reason why is that the document is setting a default `color: #222` but not a corresponding `background`. As such, I have black on black text.

The resolution would be to set either `:root`, `html`, or `body` to `background: #fff` to have black on white text.

It looks fine for me using Dark Reader on both my desktop and phone. What are you using to get "dark mode"?

EDIT: In my experience, Dark Reader is the only extension to get dark mode working with high success rate (nearly 99% on mobile, 95% on desktop). Everything else is about 50% or lower.

He is technically correct, you should set a default background color along with the default global color: in the main body tag css. Otherwise it's assumed, and often as you note, the stuff assumes wrong.

eg:



all the other defaults in that set are right, size in ems, line-height, font family, just missing background explicitly set. In europe I think sites have to do that to pass usability requirements, but it's always a good idea to do it to avoid applications making up what to do, and then picking the wrong thing.

Thanks, I added the background: #fff as you recommended.

@toastal, can you check if dark mode works for you now?
