Add light/dark mode preference #5324

Open elevenchars opened 4 hours ago

Problem

Browsers do not let you set a per-site dark mode preference. Some users do not want to use the new dark mode.

Description

A toggle similar to the Wikipedia appearance (see below). It should probably be accessible for users who are not logged in, as well.

Screenshots

The tile screen didn't need dimming; it makes it difficult to read.

I agree, there needs to be a config option.

There should be absolutely no image or map dimming. It just reduces readability.

Just leaving this comment here so an option is NOT created for it. The dimming shouldn’t be a thing.
