🐛1995 NBA All-Star Game dark mode error
[edit]Dark mode interferes with the color of the images (in this instance, the illustrations of the uniform colors on the sidebar). In dark mode, the illustrations are the same dark gray shade as the background. In light mode, the proper colors are displayed.
This is a problem for all pages that use this uniform display graphic template, including several other NBA All-Star Game pages, as well as those of many US college basketball teams (both men's and women's--e.g.: Indiana Hoosiers men's basketball and UConn Huskies Women's Basketball).

[edit]New dark mode text is too bright
The new experimental dark mode appears to disregard common UX recommendations for dark mode, particularly the default color for text being far too bright.
Specifically, text (#EAECF0) is now significantly brighter compared to the beta version (#DFDEDD), which was more in line with common recommendations for reducing eyestrain. Referencing Material Design's guidelines for dark themes, they recommend using #DEDEDE (white at 87% opacity), which is more suitable for extended reading sessions. Note how close that text color is to the beta version.
While I would prefer to revert to the beta version until this is resolved, doing so causes a white flash on every page load or refresh. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 22:12, 11 July 2024 (UTC)

📢 Preferences dark mode error
[edit]Issue Description
1. Compared to the Dark Mode Gadget I'd been using, this beta Dark Mode feature is not as dark. It's comparatively more grey and not pure black.
Aside from being brighter than I'd like, LED screens turn off the pixels with pure black, so the Dark Mode feature would draw more power than the Dark Mode gadget. (I don't personally have an LED screen laptop though to really know if it's pure black to turn off pixels).
2. A **new** error is I now can't seem to re-enable the Gadget version of Dark Mode, even when I switch the display back to Light Mode or Automatic prior to enabling the gadget. Newly opened pages only briefly (less than a second) show as dark, but then it's instantly bright.
Short version:
1. Dark Mode is not as dark/black as the Dark Mode Gadget.
2. The Dark Mode gadget cannot seem to be re-enabled after trying the Dark Mode beta feature.
Section of article(s): Global
BlindingDarkness (talk) 02:59, 12 July 2024 (UTC)
EDIT/Update: I was able to re-enable the Gadget by clicking "Dark Mode" in the user menu on the top right, where it now shows pure black again. This is after I tried re-enabling it through the Gadget area of Preferences, when it would only briefly show pages in the pure black I prefer before turning bright incorrectly.
BlindingDarkness (talk) 03:04, 12 July 2024 (UTC)
In trying to replicate what I did, I noticed the "dark mode" option in the user menu at the top right is not there if the gadget is disabled, so looks like that option is tied to the Gadget and not the new Beta.
Basically, to re-enable the gadget correctly, it has to be done first in the Preferences Gadget area, and then Dark Mode has to be clicked in the user menu at the top right. I'll continue using the Gadget and try the beta again later to see if it's made darker.

The solution would be that these blocks/lines are way more darker colored (in dark mode, if possible), so it is definitely easier on the eyes and definitely easier to read. Hope that helps. I hope I didn't missed anything I could change. Thanks, MtrdCtchr (talk) 12:20, 12 July 2024 (UTC)

[edit]Issue Description
On light mode, the headers on this template are a different colour to the usual white (See From the Muddy Banks of the Wishkah, where the album title and other headers are coloured orange). This helps to distinguish the headers from the other content, and it is color-coded so that particular types of albums (e.g. live albums or soundtrack albums) have differently coloured headers. On dark mode, this feature is non-existent - everything has the same background colour, making it more difficult to distinguish information. Thanks, SupremeLordBagel (talk) 22:01, 12 July 2024 (UTC)

Issue Description When companies design a dark mode version of their website, the most important priority is color contrast. The current state of Wikipedia's dark mode keeps blue text from light mode the same color. However, the shade of blue should be slightly adjusted to contrast enough with the black background to make the text more readable. I've linked the watchlist page, which contains a lot of blue text, to demonstrate how it strains the eyes.

📢🐛 Oblique projection dark mode error
[edit]Issue Description
In the section "Military projection" / "Examples", the SVG graphics are displayed in an unreadable way, everything is very dark, practically unreadable. Opening only the graphics allows to see it properly.
Additional (general) note
The text in the dark mode is too bright (probably pure white), it hurts the eyes.
IMHO, for comfortable reading in a dark environment (as the dark mode is meant mostly for that), the text should be light grey (not too dark either!). With pure white, the contrast is way too strong, not comfortable for the eyes.
I understand there are some options to customize it, but maybe balancing it slightly better by default is worth considering.

THUMBS UP FOR THE DARK MODE IN WIKIPEDIA!!!! AT LAST!!! I was waiting for this for YEARS, wondering when finally Wikipedia devs will stop confusing computer screen with paper (as is the case of majority of applications since Microsoft Word entered the scene and everyone followed...).

Great to see the dark mode on Wikipedia, however the color of the links in dark mode can be difficult to read. Here are potential improvements could be done in terms of accessibility:
- Increase the contrast ratio between text and background: The color of the links should be a brighter color that contrasts more with the background color.
- Use a different color for visited links: If you are going to update the color of links, please assure to update the color of visited links as well, which currently is dark purple, which is even more difficult to see against the dark background.

The text and markings in the image are solid black on a transparent background, which shows through a dark gray from the infobox in dark mode. This ends up difficult to read.
Long-term ideal fix would be to allow SVGs to use theme-aware colors, but this would require some retooling. --Brooke Vibber (WMF) (talk) 14:53, 21 July 2024 (UTC)

- Thanks for looking into this. I don’t know that I really can describe the issue better in words, but hopefully this screenshot will be worth a thousand of them. Please note that the issue occurs in Firefox. I now have loaded the same search results page in Chrome and Edge, and the background in question renders as black instead of white in those browsers, so the problem may be exclusive to Firefox. I admit that I sorely need to update the version of Firefox that I am using (107.0); therefore, it’s possible that the issue is attributable to that.—Quick and Dirty User Account (talk) 05:06, 24 July 2024 (UTC)

✅Java version history dark mode error
[edit]Issue Description This page includes a table of software releases. The first column contains colored boxes (e.g. red for unsupported) and text for the version. On light mode, the text within is black and is quite readable. On dark mode, the text is a light gray and nearly impossible to read, especially in the yellow and green colored boxes. If it could be modified so that it's still readable on dark mode, that would be appreciated.
Also, the last column has several boxes with a `—` in them, which are colored light gray. This looks fine on light mode, but on dark mode it comes across as several cells that are stuck on light mode. Not sure what the solution is to this; maybe just getting rid of the light gray background entirely? –Thunderforge (talk) 18:25, 23 July 2024 (UTC)

🐛"Report an issue with dark mode" doesn't generate the correct title for articles with non-letters
[edit]Issue Description If the article title has non-letters in it, the "Report an issue with dark mode" doesn't generate a report with the correct title. Reproduction steps:
1. Go to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C++
- If it matters, I'm doing this on my Safari web browser on macOS 14.5, which displays the URL in the address bar as https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C%2B%2B
2. Click the "Report an issue with dark mode" link on the article's sidebar, near the light/dark mode settings
3. Observe that the report title is [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C++ C ] dark mode error, which replaces the ++ with two spaces.
In this particular case, it was confusing because there is also a thing called "C" that is related, but distinct from "C++". -Thunderforge (talk) 18:41, 23 July 2024 (UTC)

✅️Exact trigonometric values dark mode error
[edit]Issue Description Dear Wikipedia Team, I am writing to bring your attention to an accessibility issue I noticed in the trigonometry diagram on the page "Exact trigonometric values" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exact_trigonometric_values). The current dark mode version of the diagram has poor visibility of the x and y axis arrows. The black arrows are nearly invisible against the dark background, which significantly reduces the diagram's clarity and usefulness for users viewing the page in dark mode. To address this issue, I suggest:
Changing the color of the axis arrows in the dark mode version to a light color (e.g., white or light gray) to ensure proper contrast. Reviewing other diagrams on the site to ensure they are equally legible in both light and dark modes.
This change would greatly improve the accessibility and readability of the content for all users, particularly those who rely on or prefer dark mode. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Wikipedia's commitment to open knowledge is commendable, and addressing this issue will further enhance the user experience for your global audience.
