Can we change the website's text colour?

[Britfluff]

Don’t get me wrong purple is neat and all but it makes it nigh impossible to read some words.

No. Not yet. Virgil is working on it

Okay, so here’s what seems to have happened.
The theme component that we use seems to have been updated, and they seem to have neglected to take dark mode into account. The thumbnails are much more bright (yuck) and the default text color is invisible on them.
I’m looking for a way to either reinstall the old version of the theme component, or to find an alternative that would fit the style of posts we create, here.
As a stop-gap measure, I had to change to a font color that could be seen on the bright background.
So it’s purple, for the time being.
I’ll continue to work on this.

I didn’t like the purple either.
But if I had done red (as I tested) it might have upset some people

[Mr_Owl]

Because blood?

[Virgil]

Yeah, pretty much.
Same reason why our new writing icon isn’t this

That looks pretty cool, but I see why it wasn’t used.
