I’m not sure if this is the right place for this question, but when I use the dark mode of discourse for Julia, the like button and some other things become basically invisible. Is there an easy way to fix this?

For me it’s visible on Firefox (or does it look the same for you and you consider this not to be visible enough?)

Oh that’s interesting, in the 2 hours since I posted this, I restarted my comptuer, and it’s now better. Probably some combination of firefox and ubuntu 20.04 was acting poorly. Anyway, sorry for the noise.

Your post made me realize there is a dark theme option in Discourse, it never occurred to me to check this before 🙂
