e.g. on mobile where I'm not logged in by default

Not that I'm necessarily against the proposal but this phrase is the one which surprises me. If the status quo is so bad for you, why not just login on mobile? Wouldn't that solve it for you, personally?

I use the dark theme here and like kcott it means that there is no way I can miss being logged out. I appreciate that this is almost certainly not a common enough accidental use case of how things are to count against the proposal.

It has also been my experience that the overwhelming majority of sites don't honour the OS/DE/Browser default mode anyway (yet). Again, that's not to say that the Monastery shouldn't, but nor does it make it an outlier in this regard. A fair proportion of the key sites I visit have (or had) such poor styling anyway that I use my own CSS ⃰ in preference to theirs which takes away a lot of the related problems. YMMV.

Overall I'm ambivalent about this proposal. It would be nice to see a response from Anonymous Monk here one way or the other. If they were to find it useful then that would make it worth doing.

⃰ Or borrow someone else's.
