+Piecemeal Posted February 20 Posted February 20 Hi all!! It's been a good while since I graced my presence here, what with too many RL issues to go into here. But anyways - I'll keep it short and sweet with a quick query. Can this website be viewed and/or navigated in 'dark mode'? I've been unlucky enough to have added some sight issues to my already lengthening list of health issues - with Diplopia (double vision) and extreme light sensitivity being new problems to deal with as a result of certain new prescription meds I'm taking for my Epilepsy. An unfortunate side effect of this issue is severe migraines due to the added light sensitivity. Changing the brightness settings on my monitor and operating Google Chrome in dark mode doesn't seem to help either when viewing this site and certain others, as it has no effect. I've even resorted to wearing dark shades over my 'gomer goggle' glasses in order to try and nullify the glare. What I'm trying to ask, really, is whether I can view this site in dark mode. Is there a settings section I haven't discovered where it can be done? Thanks in advance Quote
Wrench Posted February 21 Posted February 21 I can't answer you question, but I can say it good to see you back again! 1 Quote
DoctorQuest Posted February 21 Posted February 21 Welcome back! I use Firefox myself which also has a "dark" setting. The comment with the setting says, "Some websites adapt their color scheme based on your preferences. Choose which color scheme you’d like to use for those sites." I don't know if the admins can do anything for CA that might allow it to adapt to a dark setting. I will tell you the same issue exists in Firefox. I go "dark" and CA still shows up as usual. 1 Quote

DQ, thanks for the shout out about Firefox - I didn't know about that setting on their engine, I might give it a look in. Does CA show up 'dark'? Quote
DoctorQuest Posted February 21 Posted February 21 No. CA still shows "light". I think it may be a question for the site admins. I don't know if it is possible to have the CA webpages detect and honor the dark/light setting. Firefox makes it sound like it is a site specific thing. I suspect Google's "dark" setting may work the same. 1 Quote
+Piecemeal Posted February 21 Author Posted February 21 Oh well, back to the slog for now I suppose..... Got any recommendations for specific Admins that could help in the meantime? Quote
