in thread Dark Mode for AM?

Dark mode is, for me, more eyestrain and gives me a headache.

Yes, this is true for some people, my rough understading is that as it causes pupils to dilate more, this can cause vision to blur more.

The question here is: Is there a standard (RFC, W3C, ...?)

See my link in the root node: It's part of the Media Queries Level 5 W3C draft spec and has been supported by all major browsers for the past ~3-4 years.

    Thanks. Either i'm getting older/slower or W3C is putting out more new specs than ever before. I just can't keep up these days.

    So, looks like this might become a standard one day, but so far is only "it would be nice if we could get vendors to agree to this"?

    But yeah, if it doesn't affect users that don't use dark mode, i'm OK with supporting this. (Though i'm most likely not the one implementing it. I'm way too inexperienced in the nitty-gritty of the Monastery internals to be screwing around in settings that can completely break everything.)

      Well, I'd say experience shows that even if there are standards, not everyone will follow them ;-) So I'd say instead the fact that all major browsers have supported it for a few years shows there is probably enough consensus for at least this feature becoming part of the standard.
