Image alt text popups not following theme #132

Open bremensaki opened 1 week ago

The pop-up window with the alt text for an image is always displayed as light text on a dark background, even in light mode. Ideally this should be inverted when using light themes for readability.

Hi,

This is intended. My impression is that a white text on a dark background actually improves readability in most cases since this element is always overlayed over an image or a video.

An alternative would be to make this element opaque instead of semi-transparent, but I do think the translucency works well in this context and should be kept.

I use and require "light mode" because I experience halation of text in dark themes. I often need alt text, for example, when I encounter a screenshot from a dark themed app. In this case, the alt text display has the exact same issue as the source material that I need it for.

Ah, I understand. I will make the change. Thanks for bringing this up :)
