Zoznam zmien
1.3.7
- Fixed: the block editor’s writing area could end up unreadable — light text on a white canvas, or the theme’s dark text on our dark background. The canvas background was only ever coming from an inline style that WordPress discards when „Use theme styles“ is switched off, and the canvas stylesheet as a whole depended on a class that JavaScript adds from outside the iframe, which could arrive late or not at all. The stylesheet now sets the canvas colours itself and defaults to dark rather than to nothing
- Fixed: in WordPress 7 the post sidebar’s excerpt was almost invisible — near-black text on the dark panel, at 1.16:1 contrast. WP 7 rebuilt that sidebar on component primitives the plugin had never styled. Reported on the support forum
- Fixed: the „Post“ label beside the title in the editor’s document bar had the same problem, at 1.07:1
- Fixed: the unapprove action on the comments screen, and the skip-to-content link that keyboard users land on first, were both below the readable threshold
1.3.6
- Added: Cocoon theme support. The Cocoon settings screen has a strip of 36 tabs that Cocoon paints with its own light backgrounds, so in dark mode they rendered as blank white rectangles with unreadable captions — reported in a review. Tabs, the active tab, the panel behind it and the template screen’s snippet browser are now themed; the live site preview embedded on the settings screen keeps the site’s own colours, as it should
1.3.5
- Fixed: the block editor loaded the post content in light mode; switching to light and back made it dark. The editor renders the content in an iframe and the dark class was applied only once, before the editor finishes mounting its canvas — so the canvas WordPress ends up using never received it, and only a toggle put it back. It is now kept in sync for as long as the editor is mounting, and auto mode is honoured there too
- Fixed: the editor stylesheet was registered on a hook WordPress no longer wants for iframe styles, warning „added to the iframe incorrectly“ on every editor load and relying on a compatibility shim; it now uses enqueue_block_assets
1.3.4
- Fixed: activating the plugin made the Gutenberg Custom HTML block preview render the site’s 404 page inside the sandboxed preview iframe (with console sandbox violations). Caused by a leftover reference to a deleted editor stylesheet; editor styles are now only registered when the file exists
- Fixed: ACF Link field — the selected-link summary box rendered as a white island (ACF hardcodes a white background); now themed to the dark surface with a legible URL and visible external-link icon
- Fixed: WooCommerce variable-product Variations panel — variation rows, headers, row separators, and inner fields rendered light; now fully dark
- Fixed: WooCommerce product-data tab column showed a white strip below the last tab (the
ul.wc-tabspseudo-element fill); now dark - Fixed: AIOSEO focus keyphrase pills (metabox + editor sidebar) rendered as bright light „islands“ — now themed to the dark surface, with legible keyphrase text, icons, inline rename field, and score colours
- Fixed: AIOSEO Score button in the classic Publish box had a white background — now dark, keeping the green/orange/red score colour on the text and border
- Fixed: Zamok module warning notices rendered as light-on-light — now a readable amber-tinted notice on dark
- Fixed: WooCommerce Select2 multi-select chips (e.g. product tags) rendered as light-grey islands — now themed to the dark surface, including the remove (×) button
1.3.3
- Fixed: jQuery UI autocomplete dropdowns (tags, classic editor) now readable in dark mode
- Fixed: Command palette (⌘K) icons and „No results found“ text were invisible (dark on dark)
