Wikipedia dark mode on Vivaldi Android

tiva

Wikipedia no longer displays in Dark Mode on Vivaldi Android for articles, but the Wikipedia home page itself respects the dark mode setting. I am wondering if it's just me or is anyone else facing this? Has the interface of Wikipedia changed in a way that breaks this functionality?

Hi,

I am on Android 14 / Google Pixel 6 Pro. Anyway, it's started working for me, without changing any settings. The white flash is still there for Wikipedia and can't remember if it was there before. For Twitter there is no perceptible flash.

Having the same problem. I have created a bug report. You should probably do the same, so the devs know that it is a common problem.

Hi,
One report is enough, next are closed as duplicate.

Would you add the VB# here for the follow up?

Thx

Alternatively, you can also use the Wikipedia app for Android, which also has a dark mode.

I always thought it would be good if those reports were public (except for the security ones of course), so everyone could add more insight or add themselves to the "I'm affected, too" list.

I also see this. Wikipedia and this forum both are bright even with dark mode enabled. If I switch on the button "dark mode for Web pages" (in the theme settings) it's all fine. I guess that should be default on when changing to a dark mode theme....

Hi, some companies try open bug tracking but it turn into disaster in a few weeks, now no browser company has an open tracker.
Don`t count open source projects, there are still disaster.

Anyway, the report is confirmed and I add a comment with information about my internal 6.6 doesn't work too.
Another developer cant reproduce this.
This is a very new report, we can only hope it gets fixed in one of the next updates.

Must have been caused by a recent update some days before my first post here.

The last update was February 16, 2024 and it was only a security update, I bet Wiki change something in the page and now dark page mode doesn't work in Vivaldi anymore.
If you change to desktop view it change to dark immediately.
