Rather upsetting that the dark theme selection is WHITE. On the blocks, and in input fields, and javascript.

I work full time and then I code in C3 too, weekdays + weekends. Imagine with 10h+ a day looking at a screen, and the dark mode turns white when I select something.

Sure chrome extensions or themes work, but why can't C3 be accessible by default? The chrome extensions make my browser slower and there's some particular cases where they backfire badly, and C3 themes always have a quirk or a bug.

I have eye problems, I wear eye glasses, I have eye migraines.

Please help me get more vote on this suggestion to get more attention on it: construct23.ideas.aha.io/ideas/C23-I-201

Thank you

this was the only reason I made a dark theme for myself and later I uploaded it for public too.

Note: If you use JavaScript then don't use my theme, I didn't worked on scripting part.

+1 for theme dark. Commented on there 2 years ago, and still using it to this day. Admittedly I modified it to make it slightly more darker, and sorta borked some colours along the way lol, but it's great as it is.

This would be one thing that could be changed very easily, from bright pure white

Bump as dark theme contrast is still ridiculous

This is not normal and would take a few hours from C3 to fix.

Try going to chrome://flags in Chrome, search for "dark mode", set that to "enabled".

Works for me in Windows although the contrast between selected/unselected is maybe now a little too low.

I actually reported several similar issues with the dark theme as bugs and they were fixed!

Bump on this as it's still eye straining and I need to resort to weird workarounds and tricks. Why do users have to fight so hard for basic accessibility settings in 2024?
