The output in Forced Colors mode is different depending on if the light or dark mode is active

Created on 13 February 2025, 2 months ago

Depending on which color mode you have selected the output in Forced Colors mode differs

light mode - forced colors mode

dark mode - force colors mode

Discussed and iterated on the issue with @mgifford, @the_g_bomb, @katannshaw, and @drupa11y

, switch on Forced Colors mode and switch between the light and dark mode.

If technically possible if the Forced Colors mode is being active use the styling currently used for the dark mode no matter if the light or dark mode is being active.
Ideally it should be signified on the appearance switch component that the light & dark mode is currently overridden and the selection mode has currently no effect in Forced Colors mode.

This is an interesting one. I do think it is important to give folks the choice of either light or dark mode. Glad that Gin does that. However, if someone has already specified their preference by specifying a high contrast mode, then there really isn't a need to support two versions of their preferences. Probably simpler to just support one consistently.
