  1. High contrast for Dark Mode question


    I started a new job where I'm working with a lot of PDF's, so I set my computer's theme to High Contrast Black to reduce eye strain. I also installed Tampermonkey and a script to invert the colors on PDF's when I open them in Chrome. The script works perfectly when my Windows theme is set to normal, but the PDF's revert to the original white background when my High Contrast Black theme is turned on.

    Is there a way to only partially apply themes, like setting it so that Chrome isn't affected? Or is there some other sort of workaround I can use?

    High contrast for Dark Mode question

    Dark mode in Windows 11 is contrasting and blurry

    Hi, I noticed that it looks fine on startup but after a while it gets blurry. The problem is that it's not just the text but also all the icons in the taskbar like the ones for pycharm, intellij are also blurring. This is also the case for the dark high contrast themes. The lighter high contrast theme seems to work fine just like light mode.
