Jerboa is a native-android client for Lemmy, built using the native android framework, Jetpack Compose.

Warning: You can submit issues, but between Lemmy and lemmy-ui, I probably won't have too much time to work on them. Learn jetpack compose like I did if you want to help make this app better.

Is there even a contrast option so people don't have to revert to light mode to read important stuff?

Okay, then don't post anything from Wikipedia, gotcha.

That should fix the problem, thanks for nothing.

That is how html works my dude.

If You post a transparent image the background of the current page will be used.

Convert the image for example.

This is also not unique to lemmy. Same happens on reddit, X, Facebook, everywhere

This has nothing to do with HTML. This has to do with rendering images, especially when you know your platform will be rendering images that sometimes have transparency.

When you know your app/program/website/platform is going to be rendering images that sometimes have transparency, then the background color is not a fucking option!

The background color behind transparent images should never be connected with the user interface color scheme, the background behind transparent images should always be white.

So this is a long standing problem with UI designers, it ain't got shit to do with HTML, it's just that the principles of a good GUI went out the window long ago and GUI developers lost all common sense.

#FFFFFF

And, on a different node:

First of all, your post violates the license of the image. According to the license, you must attribute the author, you don't.

And, if you have a look at wikipedias image page, you will see that for the dark mode the background for this image is NOT bright white:

So, darkmode users don't get their eyes burned out.

First of all, fuck you, I'm not the original poster. I just shared their link as reference to the problem, which apparently extends way beyond Jerboa..

You might think that someone so fussy about the original source might actually follow the links...

over_clox ≠ Innerworld, the actual OP

[–] vapeloki@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Sorry for this confusion. A simple: not me would be enough. Or did I insult you?

And you can not follow any link there as it links directly to the svg, not to the image page.

I see someone doesn't know how to chase links then.

Just follow the links up the chain, it's not that difficult.

Innerworld posted that, not me. So yes I'm a bit offended that you got pissy with me, take it up with the original poster, I just had an opinion, and apparently a glitch..
