It's weird how bad the dark style on many major websites/apps still is. No real differences in background colors, no depth/shadows, white borders everywhere. Feels like looking at a spreadsheet.

Kudos to @alice for doing a much better job with this in libadwaita!

Github website showing the issues page for the project sonnyp/tangram. All elements have the same / very similar background colors, and there are lots of white borders around everything.
GNOME Software showing the app page for Metronome. The listboxes are ligher than the background, have dark dividers between linked rows, and a shadow to distinguish them from the view background.

@tbernard well, it was kinda similar in 1.0, since gtk4 default had very low contrast in dark, so we changed all borders to light, then started toning them down - and only finished by 1.2.

@alice Right, my point is we've been doing that work and it's way better now.

Seemingly billion dollar companies don't care enough, even after like 5 years of dark style preferences existing on major platforms.
