Hey

@Matrix Hey, after what? waddie96 ★ (talk) 20:46, 26 September 2025 (UTC)

@Waddie96: after defining a dark mode compatible background colour, you need to add color: inherit; in the CSS. This is because there's an override that means if you don't, the text will appear as black. See in dark mode. —Matrix _{ping me}^{when u reply} (t? - c) 21:17, 26 September 2025 (UTC)

Huh, I didn't know that. But I sitll don't full get it so can you be more verbose. How is that so? Let's say for instance I've set:

color: var(--color-base, #202122);
background-color: var(--background-color-neutral-subtle);

Then, the color should automatically assume the dark mode variety since it uses the variable? No? Also, if I don't declare color, and only change background-color, I assumed the base color is already set to the above since I tohught it is highligh probable and I tohiught I'd had seen somewhere, but that the cxlass nad element: body html are set to color: var(--color-base);; is that a bad assumption? if so and they're not, why is the parent of all parents node not setting color:var(--color-base);.. eish waddie96 ★ (talk) 21:37, 26 September 2025 (UTC)
