@Niharika can I assign this to you? Or can you just claim it?

@Samwilson So, this sounds like a plan for a more graceful fail. Which is good.

I've removed this from the Description and am putting this here to record that it was reported and that @alexhollender fixed it, as far as I can see.

SOLVED Image flash when click for enlargemnt

Problem

When you click to expand an image, there’s a flash of an inverted image while the bigger image is loading.

Example URL

• https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%86thelberht,_King_of_Wessex#/media/File:%C3%86thelberht_-_MS_Royal_14_B_VI.jpg
• The flash is even more noticeable for the black and white image on this page.

Who reported?

• @alexhollender

@Samwilson, also, are there any other E-Book tasks that you can write up out of this investigation? Or is the one you mention basically a precursor to doing the investigation?

We're not running the latest code in production at the moment. T222330 needs to be done before that, and I think then we can look at how often it's crashing.

@alexhollender talking to @Mooeypoo again, she has revised her opinion about whether a popup/menu or toggle switch is a good way to go. We are now back to a strong opinion that the best option here will be a simple link that switches depending on what mode you're in, like so:

@alexhollender I just spotted yet another type of link style that we should go ahead and control. External (off-wiki) links are now showing up as a light pink color. In the default mode, it looks like they are a slightly different blue from the normal link blue, but it's so subtle I imagine it's not on purpose. So I would imagine they should just be styled in our normal link color. (They are differentiated, of course, but the off-wiki arrow icon when appropriate.)

I've removed the issue below from the Description. I'm just making a note here to record that this was an issue, but that we've solved it.

Hi @alexhollender, I've been thinking of this as something you were working on, but just realized I didn't assign it to you. So I just did. I also renamed it, to make it more clear that this is not just a holding tank for stuff we've observed, but an "investigation" ticket. Please look into these issues and either:

I added kartographer maps as an exclusion with https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Diff/895354313. Hope this is okay!

@jmatazzoni given that the large majority of users use Vector I wonder if our time would be better spent making the dark mode experience for Vector better, rather than supporting other skins? Any additional skin we support means additional QA, bug fixes, etc.

I'm moving this report down to the discussions area because a) I don't know who reported it (this section names writers) and b) I don't see the problem. So if you reported the "Image overlay" problem, please describe what you're seeing. Thanks.

@jmatazzoni technically you could use #D43D33 but this would drop the ratio down to 4.51 and we'd be introducing a new color rather than re-using a color from the apps.

@jmatazzoni unfortunately a lot of the colors end up needing to be bright when placed on a black background in order to achieve a minimum of AA WCAG compliance. The color you've used int he mock ups above (#BA504F) doesn't have a high enough contrast ratio on true black (#000)

I need to formulate an official stand on which skins we are going to support (I've put it on the Agenda for standup). I know there's interest in Timeless, so I had a look at that with the new CSS. The colors all seem to work fine in Timeless. But I do spot one layout issue: on page the main page title gets cut off at the top by the Timeless header. See screenshot. @alexhollender is there an easy fix for this?

@alexhollender, I'm looking at the Dark Mode redlink color as of May 1. I like that it is more recognizably "red" now. Thanks. But when I look at a page with redlinks, they are the thing that stands out most on the page. See screenshot.

Just out of curiosity, recent MacOS versions have added dark-mode as an OS level feature, and a new CSS media query has been devised to response to that setting: prefers-color-scheme. The spec is only a draft at this point, but it's already been implemented in Safari and Firefox on MacOS. It would be pretty cool if our solution responded to that OS-level setting, so I'm just wondering if that's been considered.

On a related note, @MusikAnimal @jmatazzoni have we thought at all about introducing some kind of hook/media-query that template editors could use in order to define dark-mode versions for their templates via template styles? I'm not sure how this would work technically, but I imagine it would be a worthwhile investment in that it would allow editors the ability to improve all of the individual elements that we are intentionally not going to touch. @Jdlrobson for any additional opinions.
