This Slack discussion by Hackernoon team: Amy Tom, richard-kubina, Utsav Jaiswal, Arthur and Linh occurred in , and has been edited for readability. Slogging's official #techsupport channel The below conversation sprung from a question posed by our team member, 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? Amy Tom Feb 4, 2021, 6:39 PM https://hackernoon.com/humanitarian-engineering-the-open-source-pandemic-response-r93g3349 Heya Amy, are you in dark mode and they are low contrast? richard-kubina Feb 4, 2021, 6:41 PM I’m in dark mode and it shows up like this Amy Tom Feb 4, 2021, 6:42 PM Ok yea sorry I always forget about dark mode :boomer: richard-kubina Feb 4, 2021, 6:42 PM 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. Utsav Jaiswal Feb 4, 2021, 6:42 PM Maybe we do what my browser extension does... inverts black in images richard-kubina Feb 4, 2021, 6:42 PM Deluminate does a good job... I never actually use a website dark mode 💭 richard-kubina Feb 4, 2021, 6:43 PM Not bad! I guess I’ll just email him and ask him to resubmit Amy Tom Feb 4, 2021, 6:44 PM 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 Feb 4, 2021, 6:45 PM Maybe one more thing to look into richard-kubina Feb 4, 2021, 6:46 PM https://darkmodejs.learn.uno/ Richard-kubina we'll handle that Arthur Feb 4, 2021, 6:46 PM Let's freeze it for now Arthur Feb 4, 2021, 6:46 PM Richard-kubina you never use dark mode??? I only exclusively use dark mode lol Linh Feb 4, 2021, 6:49 PM Yea I realize I am a weirdo now richard-kubina Feb 4, 2021, 6:49 PM If it's late i just turn down the screen brightness... I hardly even use the extension... hmm richard-kubina Feb 4, 2021, 6:50 PM I hope you're not programming in a light theme because if you are, then yes bro - Weird Alert!!😂 Utsav Jaiswal Feb 4, 2021, 6:50 PM Oh no fuck that richard-kubina Feb 4, 2021, 6:51 PM Why the dichotomy, I have no idea richard-kubina Feb 4, 2021, 6:52 PM Because light mode sucks when you spend enough time on it Utsav Jaiswal Feb 4, 2021, 6:52 PM There's a dark theme chrome extension that makes all my sites dark themed Utsav Jaiswal Feb 4, 2021, 6:52 PM I even use dark mode in kindle Utsav Jaiswal 😂 Linh Feb 4, 2021, 6:52 PM Hahaha - yes. It is so much better in dark mode Utsav Jaiswal Feb 4, 2021, 6:53 PM Maybe its so I don't start trying to type code into websites richard-kubina Feb 4, 2021, 6:53 PM Try the light theme once - your eyes will hate you Utsav Jaiswal Feb 4, 2021, 6:54 PM 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 richard-kubina Feb 4, 2021, 6:55 PM Gotcha - not gonna be an evangelist here. Utsav Jaiswal Feb 4, 2021, 6:56 PM 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: richard-kubina Feb 4, 2021, 6:56 PM Fun fact: Joe Biden’s used dark mode too and Kien . Linh Feb 4, 2021, 6:56 PM https://www.whitehouse.gov/ https://www.facebook.com/kien.dao.2/posts/2888531904756025 When my excel sheets go dark mode, I freak out too. Utsav Jaiswal Feb 4, 2021, 6:56 PM See! richard-kubina Feb 4, 2021, 6:56 PM We should publish this as a slogging post. Linh Feb 4, 2021, 6:57 PM This dark mode is messing with me... now I think it's 2AM and I should go to bed. Thanks richard-kubina Feb 4, 2021, 6:57 PM Yeah - Thanks to Amy Tom and her PNG query that we hijacked. Utsav Jaiswal Feb 4, 2021, 6:57 PM Hijack away :pirate_flag: Amy Tom Feb 4, 2021, 6:58 PM Richard-kubina - can there be a way by which we can export just about any thread into slogging? Utsav Jaiswal Feb 4, 2021, 7:01 PM I think we can edit any slogging threads right? Linh Feb 4, 2021, 7:02 PM In the drafts - yes. Utsav Jaiswal Feb 4, 2021, 7:03 PM You mean from any channel? Just need to add the app to the all the channels richard-kubina Feb 4, 2021, 7:04 PM 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** Linh Feb 4, 2021, 7:04 PM W.I.Z.A.R.D Utsav Jaiswal Feb 4, 2021, 7:04 PM Why have we not installed it in all of our channels already - We talk gold all day Utsav Jaiswal Feb 4, 2021, 7:04 PM Linh I am actually curious about the group I am in where you browse in light mode but code(work?) in dark mode richard-kubina Feb 4, 2021, 7:05 PM Sure let’s add one more option. c. dark mode sucks except when you code Linh Feb 4, 2021, 7:05 PM Everyone codes in dark mode - except psychopaths. Fun Fact Utsav Jaiswal Feb 4, 2021, 7:05 PM OMG Linh Feb 4, 2021, 7:06 PM I think anyone can do it (see my light themed slack here?) richard-kubina Feb 4, 2021, 7:06 PM c. Dark mode sucks except when you code. If you code in light mode you are a psychopath. Linh Feb 4, 2021, 7:06 PM Utsav, you click the circled then and then . search for slogging richard-kubina Feb 4, 2021, 7:07 PM i icon, more ... Add apps Yup - already on it Utsav Jaiswal Feb 4, 2021, 7:07 PM Wow - Is is weird that I feel attacked when someone sends me instructions to a tech thing?😂 Utsav Jaiswal Feb 4, 2021, 7:09 PM RTFM richard-kubina Feb 4, 2021, 7:10 PM
