Looks like it’s more work than actually I thought when i hacked my own dark styles. I will really like to help to
tackledown those a11y issues. How could i do that ?
Also i think will be ideal for most people to setup a little widget for the color scheme setting:
• 💻 OS Default
• ☀️ Light
• 🌚 Dark
In the css could be approached by setting a color theme class on the html element.
For instance serve the docs with:
• <html class=“color-os”> & keep the styles as they are, :root { /* light vars */ } and @media
(prefers-color-scheme:dark) { :root { /* dark vars */} }
Then after user selection:
• <html class=“color-light”> & set the styles: .color-light { /* light vars */}
• <html class=“color-dark”> & set the styles: .color-dark { /* dark vars */}
You can see a simple example of this setting on the MDN docs website.
