Midnight Mode looks like trash

I don't know if it's my desktop browser (Brave) or what, but yesterday I switched to Midnight mode for the first time and it looks like crap. The point of dark mode is to have an overall dark theme while not using any bright colors, but I see a lot of white / black contrasts and unreadable text.

The Classic version of the site doesn't really get any improvements, so it's been like this for a long time and is unlikely to change.

If you'd like to switch to Redesign, midnight mode looks a lot better there. There are still a few issues, but overall, it's much easier to read most things.

If you want to stick with Classic, you may want to consider a browser extension that allows you to use custom colors. I personally used Dark Reader on Chrome and liked it, but it's been a few years, so YMMV Smilie
