This Slack discussion by Hackernoon team: Amy Tom, richard-kubina, Utsav Jaiswal, Arthur and Linh occurred in Slogging's official #techsupport channel, and has been edited for readability.
The below conversation sprung from a question posed by our team member, Amy Tom.
Amy Tom
This article used graphs that had a transparent background and now the tables disappear into the background. How can we make this better? Should I just ask him to reupload the photos? https://hackernoon.com/humanitarian-engineering-the-open-source-pandemic-response-r93g3349

Heya Amy, are you in dark mode and they are low contrast? Amy Tom
I’m in dark mode and it shows up like this 
richard-kubina
Ok yea sorry I always forget about dark mode :boomer: 
Utsav Jaiswal
Asking them is the easiest option. This is a PNG issue. They exported as a transparent background. If you fix on your own, export as jpg after importing in an image editor. richard-kubina
Maybe we do what my browser extension does... inverts black in images richard-kubina
Deluminate does a good job... I never actually use a website dark mode 💭 
Amy Tom
Not bad! I guess I’ll just email him and ask him to resubmit richard-kubina
Our darkmode is constantly missing the right styles for new features, it's a never ending battle. Would be neato to find a javascript library that replicated the browser extension... richard-kubina
Maybe https://darkmodejs.learn.uno/ one more thing to look into 
Arthur
Richard-kubina we'll handle that Arthur
Let's freeze it for now 
Linh
Richard-kubina you never use dark mode??? I only exclusively use dark mode lol richard-kubina
Yea I realize I am a weirdo now richard-kubina
If it's late i just turn down the screen brightness... I hardly even use the extension... hmm Utsav Jaiswal
I hope you're not programming in a light theme because if you are, then yes bro - Weird Alert!!😂 richard-kubina
Oh no fuck that richard-kubina
Why the dichotomy, I have no idea Utsav Jaiswal
Because light mode sucks when you spend enough time on it Utsav Jaiswal
There's a dark theme chrome extension that makes all my sites dark themed Linh
I even use dark mode in kindle Utsav Jaiswal 😂 Utsav Jaiswal
Hahaha - yes. It is so much better in dark mode richard-kubina
Maybe its so I don't start trying to type code into websites Utsav Jaiswal
Try the light theme once - your eyes will hate you richard-kubina
I'll leave my browser extension on and see how it goes... I think what happens is that the difference is so jarring that familiar sites feel unfamiliar and I want to go back to the fold where I am safe Utsav Jaiswal
Gotcha - not gonna be an evangelist here. richard-kubina
Actually, I do have a light theme handy in my editor for when I code on the deck. Glossy screens and sunlight :y-u-no: Linh
Fun fact: Joe Biden’s https://www.whitehouse.gov/ used dark mode too and Kien https://www.facebook.com/kien.dao.2/posts/2888531904756025. Utsav Jaiswal
When my excel sheets go dark mode, I freak out too. richard-kubina
See! Linh
We should publish this as a slogging post. richard-kubina
This dark mode is messing with me... now I think it's 2AM and I should go to bed. Thanks Utsav Jaiswal
Yeah - Thanks to Amy Tom and her PNG query that we hijacked. Amy Tom
Hijack away :pirate_flag: Utsav Jaiswal
Richard-kubina - can there be a way by which we can export just about any thread into slogging? Linh
I think we can edit any slogging threads right? Utsav Jaiswal
In the drafts - yes. richard-kubina
You mean from any channel? Just need to add the app to the all the channels Linh
This prompts me to create a new twitter poll:If you don’t use dark mode you are an idiot:
a. totally
b. dark mode my a**
Utsav Jaiswal
W.I.Z.A.R.D Utsav Jaiswal
Why have we not installed it in all of our channels already - We talk gold all day richard-kubina
Linh I am actually curious about the group I am in where you browse in light mode but code(work?) in dark mode Linh
Sure let’s add one more option.c. dark mode sucks except when you code
Utsav Jaiswal
Everyone codes in dark mode - except psychopaths. Fun Fact Linh
OMG richard-kubina
I think anyone can do it (see my light themed slack here?) 
Linh
c. Dark mode sucks except when you code. If you code in light mode you are a psychopath. richard-kubina
Utsav, you click the circled i icon,more ...Add appsUtsav Jaiswal
Yup - already on it Utsav Jaiswal
Wow - Is is weird that I feel attacked when someone sends me instructions to a tech thing?😂 richard-kubina
RTFM
