I noticed that the color scheme, especially in dark mode, has changed slightly.
Now, backtick quoted texts no longer have obvious distinction against normal text. I think they used to have a different background, but now they have the same background as normal text.
Youāre absolutely right. (And Iām not happy)
Can you post a screenshot of what you are seeing? They look the same to me as they were:
I donāt use darkmode and honestly Iām not sure how to force the forum into dark mode on demand.
Maybe the difference comes from different browsers? Iām using Brave.
For the most part no one really changes the configuration of the forum unless something breaks. There may have been a recent upgrade to the software that changed things.
here you areā¦
Unfortunately, I have no old screenshot, But was more like that (fakedā¦):
Browser here is (and was) Firefox, but it also worked in Chrome, which I use at work.
just checked on meta.discourse
dark mode
light mode
Thanks!!! I wasnāt able to upload a screenshot at the time, something about aws error.
This is exactly what meant / want. I have also not changed my browser.
This isnāt as bad, because their background isnāt so dark compared to ours.
user preferences ā interface ā color palette.
also very easy to change from the help & about menu
edit: yeah noā¦ duhā¦ 
I was thinking the UI not the forum
I havenāt checkedā¦ has this change also affected the mainui?
AAhhhhhā¦ no, it seems something is screwed up with openHAB forum dark mode. I switch it to dark mode and topic window stays light but header turns black and items in header become un-readable
this is dark mode below!
One thing that has changed recently is the light/dark mode switcher plugin became a Discourse official plugin
openHAB also apparently using a custom plugin for code fences
The deprecated message really isnāt that big a deal bt obviously a custom plugin and so that could be what is screwing up the text as per OP
I think that plugin may be only to add the additional code fence buttons not in discourse and may not do anything to the formating of the actual textā¦ donāt know
The syntax highlighting for Ruby is also not quite right
Item_Name_Should_Be_One_Color
Iām not sure who has access to do anything about this. Moderators do not (or I canāt find it).
@ysc, @digitaldan, @kai, as the administrators can you shed any light on this situation? Maybe the recent update and our old custom code highlighter are no longer fully compatible.
Itās a CSS variable, --inline-code-bg both here and on meta.discourse.org when switching the theme to ādarkā (bottom left), whose value is rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.35) (black, 35% opacity)
Not sure when or why or whether there were a change.
I havenāt found a way to override it in the settings, though we could override it directly in CSS.
It uses highlight.js which appears to highlight the same on Demo - highlight.js, so not sure we can do much about this.
Should be better now.
Thanks!
The syntax highlighting issue though, it seems that itās a bug in their token parser, so not a theme/styling issue.
Iām not familiar with how it works with discourse. Is it possible to use a different syntax highlighter?
Is the Discourse stuff (for openhab installation) open-sourced?
You can add languages (eg. GitHub - Jai-Community/discourse-highlightjs-jai: Discourse theme component to highlight Jai syntax) but not change the highlighter or (I believe) existing languages.
yes Discourse is open-source. See here
I meant how itās configured and used for this forum community.openhab.org, the actual files and configurations (excluding sensitive login data of course)
Iāve created a PR against highlight.js. Not sure how / when that will ever percolate down to our installation. I guess it will have to go through Discourse first?
Itās a super simple fix. @ysc could we possibly patch our installation with it?
Discourse is configured primarily though the interface. An administrator uses the same interface as regular users but has access to a bunch of stuff normal users canāt see, tabs and pages where changes can be made. It runs in a docker. For really low level stuff admins have access to a Rails console and the docker file
