⚄︎ Perchance

This is a Lemmy Community for perchance.org, a platform for sharing and creating random text generators.

Feel free to ask for help, share your generators, and start friendly discussions at your leisure :)

This community is mainly for discussions between those who are building generators. For discussions about using generators, especially the popular AI ones, the community-led Casual Perchance forum is likely a more appropriate venue.

See this post for the Complete Guide to Posting Here on the Community!

Rules

1. Please follow the Lemmy.World instance rules.

2. Be kind and friendly.

  • Please be kind to others on this community (and also in general), and remember that for many people Perchance is their first experience with coding. We have members for whom English is not their first language, so please be take that into account too :)

3. Be thankful to those who try to help you.

  • If you ask a question and someone has made a effort to help you out, please remember to be thankful! Even if they don't manage to help you solve your problem - remember that they're spending time out of their day to try to help a stranger :)

4. Only post about stuff related to perchance.

  • Please only post about perchance related stuff like generators on it, bugs, and the site.

5. Refrain from requesting Prompts for the AI Tools.

  • We would like to ask to refrain from posting here needing help specifically with prompting/achieving certain results with the AI plugins (text-to-image-plugin and ai-text-plugin) e.g. "What is the good prompt for X?", "How to achieve X with Y generator?"
  • See Perchance AI FAQ for FAQ about the AI tools.
  • You can ask for help with prompting at the 'sister' community Casual Perchance, which is for more casual discussions.
  • We will still be helping/answering questions about the plugins as long as it is related to building generators with them.

6. Search through the Community Before Posting.

  • Please Search through the Community Posts here (and on Reddit) before posting to see if what you will post has similar post/already been posted.

Request: Built-in automatic dark mode (self.perchance)

We can put CSS in our generators that works with the user's dark mode setting on their device. But it would be great if that was built-in to the default styles. Doesn't have to be anything fancy, this would do for a start:

@media (prefers-color-scheme: dark) {
  body {
    background-color: #000;
    color: #aaa;
  }
}

It seems some of the templates may override such styles and make the body white and such anyway. So maybe that's something to look into as well.

Oh, and dark mode support in the code editor etc. would be great too 👍

Does dark mode in the code editor not work for you? If so, which browser and device?

[–] wthit56 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Seems it half-works? Sort of? The code editor panes don't change dynamically; you have to reload and then whatever the setting is is locked in from then on.

And it seems the first time you change the device's dark mode, the preview pane also stays locked. But changing it more after that unlocks it. Very weird...

I did notice the "AI chat" link at the top would get locked up, but just the text or something? That seems to have disappeared now anyway though.

Oh yeah it unfortunately currently does require a reload if you change device dark/light setting, if that's what you mean. I'm going to overhaul the interface when I upgrade to codemirror 6, though that could be a while because scaling the AI stuff is taking all my time at the moment

Okay cool. I guess codemirror caches it. All good 👍
