@osm_tech Yay for the site, menus, profiles, diaries etc., these look great now!

But simply dimming the tiles down? That doesn't feel like a dark mode to me. I mean, it's a start, maybe, but to me it just feels like something is obscuring the map all the time. How do I even turn this off?

@scy There isn't an OSM.org UI option to turn it off yet. Dark Mode is enabled if detected by developer.mozilla.org/en-US/do Our current raster tile infrastructure would not be able to handle another tile style. We have an alpha vector tiles under development, dark mode style would be a nice feature extension.

@osm_tech Thanks for the quick and helpful response! ❤️

I mean, maybe it's just me who's having trouble with how the tiles are looking now. I totally understand that a new style would take a lot of resources, both infrastructure- and effort-wise, and I don't have anything to propose. But for me, the reduced contrast is kind of problematic.

A UI to disable _just_ the tile dimming, or configure its amount, would be really useful. Disabling dark mode for the whole browser isn't really an option …

@scy @osm_tech Not even an option, just removing the dimming all together would be ideal.
