I still think that the common denominator is "dark mode" and the math that is involved to take the original color, run math on it, and generate the color that renders in "dark mode".

I really think we are looking at a "rounding error".

I urge those that see this "brightness" issue to SCREENCAP the HTML CODE (not the "picture", but the HTML CODE) so that we have a BEFORE and AFTER when and if this "brightness" changes again.

Have these "dark mode" users bothered to EXPERIMENT with the FORMULA used for that MATH?

There is a chrome/supermium/thorium FLAG where you can define what type of MATH is used.

I would suspect that firefox/basilisk/serpent/pale-moon/new-moon have something similar.

It has nothing to do with OS.

I agree.  These "dark mode" users always always always cite color renderings in their WEB BROWSER.

Not their file manager.  Not their text editor.  Not their email client.  Not their CAD software.  Not their finance software that isn't web-related.

Not their office suites, be it MS Office, Google Workspace, WordPerfect, SoftMaker, LibreOffice, FreeOffice, WPS Office, OfficeSuite, Calligra, Polaris, OnlyOffice, Zoho, et cetera.

ALWAYS THEIR WEB BROWSER.

 

edit  --  I do seem to recall that a MEDIA PLAYER was once cited in one of these "brightness on dark mode" reports.

Experimenting leads to this, so I just leave it at defaults.

It's a trend, it's like when they light up trees with bright LEDs. Everything gets brighter, light is everywhere. Just google how our planet is now all that bright and looks like from the above.

Light pollution, ever heard of the term? I'm quite tolerant to such changes, yet I notice.

The old copies of the site are gone. And the cached pages lead to the current site settings,

The web.archive link is correct if you copy-paste into address bar instead of clicking it.

Could this be the reason? Seems like they redirect you to the live version.

The HTML CODE for the Saxon text is IDENTICAL between both!

What about the yellow tile?

No clue what "yellow tile".  The cited font brightness earlier in the discussion was the "Saxon" text.

I'm not going to jump through this hoop for every enquiry.

As I and others have pointed out, there is no difference in HTML CODE between Wayback and current.

The issue is "your" DARK MODE.  If it causes such a "problem" for you, THEN STOP USING IT.

Yes, I am aware. I meant for those who click on links.

No, I mean, when I click on the first link in your post (which has the https://web.archive.org/web/20240908221027/ part), instead of actually directing to https://web.archive.org/web/20240908221027/https://msfn.org/board/profile/439450-saxon/, it directs to https://msfn.org/board/profile/439450-saxon/ instead. Please correct the link in your post.
