Well, I hope the icons are recolored to work both on light and dark themes.

I'm using the web app and this is applies to both Apple and Android designs

This means your android system web view is very outdated and doesn’t support display p3 colors. You should update because it’s a big security risk.

I see, that makes sense

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

This should be wayyy further up top. Too bad commenting for visibility doesn’t work here.

I just learned there's a light mode

[–] [email protected] 59 points 1 day ago (2 children)

This is what it should look like. Maybe you should file a bug report

[–] andrewta 1 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

LOL perfect time for a bug to show up

[–] hemmes 13 points 1 day ago (3 children)

I’m in iOS and mine looks like that.

Maybe he picked up a fake app from the Play Store? Does Android let you share a Play Store link to an app you have installed? You could post a link for OP to compare.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 1 day ago

He mentions using the web app. Maybe the browser being used is not rendering stuff properly

[–] thedirtyknapkin 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

that's not actually a common issue...

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

Is that a apple thing?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Why do you think that it's a fake app?

[–] hemmes 1 points 1 day ago

Just spit balling since it didn’t look like my iOS version or the version sample from the Android user above. But someone else said he may be using a web app version which I had completely forgotten about.

[–] Xeroxchasechase 15 points 1 day ago

Always have been

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 day ago

I can’t reproduce this in the web app at https://vger.app/. All settings icons have a colored circle around them.

Who cares about light mode?? The dark side has cookies!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago

I appreciate your joke.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Dark mode is not accessible for everyone unfortunately

[–] TrickDacy 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Genuinely curious, why not?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

They dont know how to use brower extensions or how turn turn dark mode on in the OS

[–] TrickDacy 1 points 1 day ago

I guess "accessible" could mean that, but it sounded to me like an impairment or something. Virtually anyone who wants to use dark mode can do a web search for how-to and do it /shrug

[–] [email protected] -3 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Not everybody lives in their parents' basement.
There are studies that found that dark mode can cause more eye strain, specially in bright environments.

[–] TrickDacy 4 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I also call bullshit. Light mode physically hurts my eyes any time it creeps in.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I'm almost certain I once saw one such study, but couldn't find it anymore, so yes, feel free to file my claim as bullshit.

What I did find was some articles about a problem called halation in which people with astigmatism or propensity for it can have the eyes dilate too much with dark mode making white-on-dark text illegible.

[–] TrickDacy 2 points 17 hours ago

I appreciate this response. Good on you for owning that. I've had the same experience (with other topics). It makes me feel like either I'm going crazy or search engines are awful. "Why can't I find that article?!"

[–] [email protected] 0 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

That is exactly the disadvantage of dark mode: your eyes would adjust for low light so something bright would mess your eyes up like a pilot at night being shone a laser pointer. That's also why pure white text over pure black is actually worse than simply light mode with comfortable brightness.

[–] TrickDacy 3 points 18 hours ago

Yeah I'm sorry I'm not buying the argument "staring at a light bulb hours a day is better, because occasionally some asshole will flash one in your face against your will anyway".

If I didn't use dark mode in bed as one example, I would be exposed to light 10 times brighter and it would fuck with my circadian rhythm hard. But because I use dark mode, I'm able to fall asleep easily after using my phone.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Source? I call bullshit on that, like red wine both causes and prevents cancer

I would laugh my ass off if they were using IPS displays. OLED does not have this issue

[–] [email protected] -2 points 1 day ago

Someone didn't bother to test their design, dang.
