Dark Theme adjustment

[Curle]

 

The dark theme is a bit... off-kilter.

 

This is just an infodump in a reliable location while i try to figure my way around the Web repo and actually effect these changes myself.

 

If you go to somebody's profile and switch to dark theme:

 

The text becomes unbearably low contrast.

The dark text is color #555 and the background is #3C3F41, meaning a contrast of 1.4:1.

The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG 2.0) level AA requires a 4.5:1 color contrast between text and background for normal text, and you can certainly see why.

 

A 4.5:1 color rating means the text must be at least #999999, but #BBBBBB is far better on my eyes, and maintains a decent color contrast from the headers and infos ("8 minutes ago").

 

 

It's 5:21am as i write this, and i need sleep, but i didn't want to forget this and i didn't trust Notepad to keep it safe >.>

Will update as i meander the https://github.com/MinecraftForge/Web/tree/master/sass repo

Update.
The culprit CSS is coming from Invision's IPS2 _framework.css.

 

It defines: 

.ipsWidget_inner{color:#575757;}

 

An override in https://github.com/MinecraftForge/Web/blob/master/sass/_forums.scss should do the trick. Time to investigate!

The same file also defines:

#ipsLayout_footer p{font-size:14px;text-decoration:none;color:#353c41;}

 

which leads to this niceness:
 

 

I didn't even realise there was text there until i wanted to change the theme to light...
