In the process of updating and modernizing their website, Ravelry changed its palette to a theme that, while charming, made the site inaccessible to many of those who struggle light themes. If you struggle to use the new Ravelry— whether its due to eyestrain or seizure triggers— fear no more (hopefully)!
This is a simple browser extension which applies the Solarized Dark palette to much of Ravelry, making it more readable for those who may be triggered by light/brightness. Everything is very low contrast— the palette was designed purposefully to reduce brightness contrast— and overall I have made the website dark with specific focus on the most used pages (ex. the advanced search page).
I'm not a professional when it comes to web design— in fact, my major is history and my minor is computer science, so I'm barely a student in it! Due to this, I anticipate that this extension has some imperfections that I'm not spotting; here's a form you can submit any comments/feedback to and I'll address any issues when I get a chance!
- Advance search pages seem to have white block near bottom of the page —> presently unsure of how to fix it, cannot find element in HTML
- Advanced button on project page —> not consistent with theme because my attempts to get the text to change colour have been futile
- Changing colour of Breadcrumb seperators
