Dark theme taken to extremes.
-
I was pointed at this site: Rubies and amethysts - PixelFederation[^] which clearly favours "Dark Theme" style over any type of usability. Black text on a very dark grey background, anyone? As in #111111 on #1D2136 ... for :elephant: sake!

Went there for sh1t and giggles, and you're right...I thought at first it was black text on a black background, so I suspected something was broken and the browser simply gave up on any attempt to continue reading back CSS or any rendering style, leaving everything in whatever state it just happened to be in. But no, it actually *is* very dark text on a black background, at least in the sense that if I crank the brightness/contract of my monitor, I can sort of see the ghostly outline of the individual paragraphs. But it's all completely unreadable. That cannot be what whoever wrote it anticipated.

Text select ;)
M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Hmmmm, I have always been known for going that extra mile to achieve sensory deprivation[^] which enhances my natural abilities, I'm not sure how or why that works. But I can tell you that the person using that color scheme is probably sitting in a completely black/dark room. Best Wishes, -David Delaune edit: what/why

It beats faint light grey text on a white background. What is it with designers these days?

Interesting I get white text on a dark background, some grey but only the links.
