Display problem when using iOS 16 or earler

[TethysPlex]

When accessing Discourse on my phone, I noticed that some background colors are missing. In dark mode, the issue becomes more noticeable, as the font colors also don’t change as expected.

I’m using iOS 16.7.8 with Safari on iPhone 8

Hi!

Well, thats certainly annoying. What theme do you have activated?

At the moment, I cant repro yet here on meta.

[TethysPlex]

I can repro this with Meta Branded / Dark

There may be more. This error may be specific to the iOS version. Others on the forums I’m on have also encountered this issue.

Hmm, i’ve tried to simulate the same environment (iOS 16, iphone 8, meta-branded, dark) and still no repro.

Can you show me a screenshot of your active colour palette theme settings?

[TethysPlex]

Sorry, I’m not sure what you mean by “active colour palette theme settings.” Could you please explain where I could find it?

[chapoi (Charlie)]

Sure, I mean when you go to your preferences: /preferences/account

What does it say here:

[TethysPlex]

This issue occurs both anonymously and logged in, and is not limited to Meta.

@TethysPlex

and is not limited to Meta.

Ah okay that changes things. It’s clearly a z-index issue but it’s super hard to diagnose if I can’t repro

How are you accessing the forums? Using the Hub app on iOS, or directly in the browser?

[TethysPlex]

Directly in the browser.

I just checked and have the same issue in Discourse Hub.

Having trouble reproing this on 16.4

Are you on the absolute latest version of iOS for your device? Can you try 16.7.11?
