Thanks for the report.

As mentioned in the original post, not all games are completely optimized for dark mode yet. We’re already working on improving compatibility across the whole platform and you can switch from one mode to the other from a game directly.

Can I ask why it wasn't posted on the home page then? I'm only just stumbling into this now, when a site wide change really should be front page news.

Most users don't use the forum, and even those that do usually just subscribe to the threads they want info on. It's rare there is a thread in official announcement that isn't also in the news section so there is very little need to continuously check the forum hoping for important announcements that are not... announced... for some reason.

Thanks to the user Tof63 for taking the time to actually get this done.

However I do also 100% agree with miklomike here - and it not being in the settings under appearance is also confusing. I only noticed it existed after I fixed something in someone else's custom CSS, went to github to submit a pull request, and saw the readme had been updated to inform it was no longer being maintained due to the official dark theme. At the very least I think there should be a toggle in the appearance settings as well, I would never have found it if not for the link to this thread in the readme!

7 Wonders Dice: the highlight on selectable actions turns white (on the white board bg) and very hard to see.
Welcome to: numbers on board become impossible to see.
