@Sgs I want to work on this task can i start working on this and like u can tell me which file is allowed to update only

@UtsavSingh2824 Hi and welcome. Please see all of https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/New_Developers#Communication_tips - thanks! :)

FYI: I've suggested potential copy, but I'm assigning to @JFernandez-WMF to review and finalize the copy and approve the suggested approach. I've also followed up with WMCZ's Educational Programs Manager so they are aware of this upcoming change.

Welcome, @UtsavSingh2824 ! I believe this task might be more complex than it first appears, but I'll have Growth team engineers follow up and suggest either a way to help start with this task, or a different task that doesn't require extensive knowledge of Community Configuration. Let us know if there is anything in particular that you are interested in exploring further! Thanks for taking interest in this task. :)

Hello @UtsavSingh2824, thank you for your interest on contributing. This task entails work in several files from the GrowthExperiments extension. In particular GrowthExperiments integrates with another extension, CommunityConfiguration for allowing communities to configure some settings of GrowthExperiment's feature.

This task has two main areas of work:

1. Adding a new property in the CommunityUpdatesSchema, probably a boolean, eg: shouldAddBackgroundInDarkMode and creating a migration for the schema change, see a complete guide on CommunityConfiguration's migration system in Extension:CommunityConfiguration/Technical_documentation#Migrations
2. The second part is making use of the new configuration property to display or not a white background in dark-mode. In this case the relevant files are: CommunityUpdates.php and associated styles in modules/ext.growthExperiments.Homepage.styles/CommunityUpdates.less

Let us know if this serves for you to get kicked-off with this task. On the other hand, if you find the related work including a migration overwhelming for a first task, here's a list of alternative issues that you could work on, and we've filtered to be more appropriate as a "good first task", in the context of the Growth team work. And here's also a more broad list of "good first task" across other extensions and projects.

I agree with the copy that is being suggested with the description - maybe we can explain a little bit more why a dark mode specific image is needed? We can have the label + a description. Something like:

Label: Add a white background to the image in dark mode.
Description: If your image has a transparent background, it may be difficult to see in dark mode. If the text or icon is dark, adding a white background can ensure it remains visible in dark mode.

+1. This description is more informative and correct than the one displayed in the design. The description in the design prompts for an image You can upload an alternate version which is miss-leading as it would also be added in light mode, while the checkbox scope is restricted to dark-mode.
