Some dark modes will flip colors on existing websites, turning your white colours black. They can be tricky to test remotely, as testing platforms like Browserstack don’t support dark modes for security reasons. In reality, there can be inconsistencies, of course. In this post I’ll refer to Dark Modes as one thing that generally works the same across different implementations. It also saves energy on some types of screens.ĭark mode is available on the latest macOS and Windows 10, but also in the form of a browser plugin ( Dark Background and Light Text add-on for Firefox, Dark Night Mode Chrome extension). For instance, people who work in the evening, those spend a lot of time behind their screens and users with low vision. This setting improves the experience for all sorts of users. What’s dark mode?ĭark mode (similar-ish to high contrast mode) is a setting on platforms, browsers or devices that inverts a user’s colour scheme: from dark elements on a light background to light elements on a dark background. Using inline SVGs with currentColor fixed the issue.
The QA engineer I worked with, found some of those did not show up in dark mode, which rendered the buttons unusable for users of that mode. In a project I work on, we had a couple of buttons that consisted of just icons (with visually hidden help text).
