Forum darkmode

Hey,

I have strange issue with my account, even if I enable dark mode from settings entire forum stay in white.
By logout or stay as guest I can use dark mode without any issue.

What can be source of such problem?

Your web browser preferred colour-scheme may be overriding your Discourse preferences.

Same here. Toggling Dark Mode / White Mode theme in the Interface settings without changing anything else does not seem to work.

It works, though, when Color Palette - Regular is set to Theme default. Unfortunately this setting is not saved permanently but replaced with the number of the color palette.

The Dark Mode / White Mode selection on the bottom of the forum page works, though. When logged in, the interface settings are adjusted accordingly (Theme and Color Palette).

EDIT:

I compared the behaviour of the Qubes OS forum to the one of the Discourse forum. The Discourse forum theme switches automatically between dark and light mode based on the user’s system setting while the Qubes OS forum does not.

The Discourse forum has a topic about ā€œSetting up light and dark mode color palettesā€. Maybe following the steps described there will solve the problems described above?

Yeah, color theme and palette are different. I believe you need both. But in case it’s not yet solved for you, please let us know.

It worked for a moment, until next logon, now both Theme and Color Palette set as ā€œDarkā€, but forum in light theme.

Ok. Try changing things and hitting ctrl+r (fully reloads the page). Maybe this is getting in the way of the actual fix. If you get to something that works, please report back.

After same tests found that with browsers based on Chromium, dark theme working. (Vanadium, Edge and so on).
But not in browsers based on Gecko: Tor, firefox and etc.

Sounds like a bug where people don’t think about other engines than chromium. Could be worth filing the bug (if it does not already exist) in meta.discourse.org

I suppose your user account is set to white mode. Is this the problem? Do you want it to behave like no user account?

As you can see at left corner - I change my user settings to dark mode, but it still white mode.

I resolved by setting my Color Palette to ā€˜Theme default’
