I’m experimenting with color schemes that have a dark header background, but a light site background. Is there a way I can mark these color schemes so they pick up the dark mode logo anyways? (since it has light text)

Hi @FroggyC :wave: perhaps these may help: [image] Automatic Dark Mode color scheme switching megaphoneAnnouncements You can now set up your Discourse site to automatically switch color schemes when the user’s device is in dark mode. For a quick preview, head…

I mean, it doesn’t seem to me like that’d be reaching outside of the scope of a color scheme. I’m not talking about custom per-color-scheme logos, I’m just asking for a setting to determine whether the color scheme should summon the light mode or dark mode logo, instead of it being automatically de…
