Unreadable dark theme syntax highlighting colors · Issue #118199 · python/cpython · GitHub

Documentation

White on white is barely visible.

Only in 3.9 and lower, 3.10 and above are fine.

This appears to be a duplicate of #115349. A supposed fix was committed 2024-02-12&13 and should have been released as part of 3.8/9.19 on 2024-03-19. However, freshly accessed https://docs.python.org/3.8/library/functions.html says it is the 3.8.18, not 3.8.19 documentation. Ditto for https://docs.python.org/3.9/library/functions.html. Both continue to have the white-on-white problem illustrated above. The same is also true of the csv page, https://docs.python.org/3.8/library/csv.html, used to illustrate the previous issue.

Right, duplicate. (I only searched for "color", not "colour", and only in open issues).

I left this open as the followup to the closed but not completed issue. (And 'dark theme' is the search word here, which I added to the title.)

@JulienPalard Please can you check why the 3.8 and 3.9 security releases didn't trigger docs builds? And please can you start the builds?

3.8 done, rebuildling 3.9.

Ok now I'm still shown 3.9.18, but now it's readable. It's not dark mode anymore, but that seems to be the intended fix.
