Re: Possible to get it out of reverse video?

I'm struggling to post to this list, so hopefully this will work.

There is a media query which allows a web browser to pick up the preferred colour scheme (light mode/dark mode) from the OS (or the browser itself).  NetSurf does not implement this, so everything defaults to light mode.

That would help with sites which support dark mode (via the media query or otherwise), however still leaves the rest of the web in light mode.

You can change the default CSS but it is only going to help if the page itself doesn't specify colours.

If the page specifies colours then they will be used by NetSurf - there's no way of overriding them (beyond light mode/dark mode - and even then you're still using colours specified by the page).  I'm not sure how you'd even go about implementing this.
