Please set "Color" to light -- How?
This is driving me insane... I get the following warning on every page load:

''Native dark mode has been enabled. Please set "Color" to light theme to avoid conflicts with the dark mode gadget to suppress this message. More information''

I cannot find any place where I could set "Color". It's not visible on the page, not listed in Preferences/Appearance or in Preferences/Gadgets or anywhere else I tried to look for it. I'm using the default Vector (2022) skin, no custom adjustments; relevant gadgets enabled: dark mode toggle, core styling for dark mode gadget.

This page is apparently a stub. There was some more content here for a short time today, both added and removed again by @MusikAnimal (I hope tagging like this works for notifications). An appearance menu was mentioned (with a screenshot even), but I simply cannot locate it. Scratchy (talk) 18:34, 16 May 2024 (UTC)


 * A few minutes after I wrote this, I did find the appearance menu that managed to elude me for over an hour... for the record, if it's not next to the article (desktop: to the right, mobile: don't know), it's behind the icon that looks like an old-fashioned superhero mask, next to the user name. For some reason this icon looked to me like it was related to privacy, so I ignored it, but I guess it's meant to be thick-rimmed spectacles rather than a superhero's/burglar's mask.
 * Anyway, it worked (mostly). I selected "Light", and now the warning only appears on pages that are always in light mode, like this one. Scratchy (talk) 18:52, 16 May 2024 (UTC)
 * When you first saw the notification, it linked to MediaWiki:Gadget-dark-mode at Special:PermaLink/1224167623, but we've moved the content to MediaWiki:Gadget-dark-mode/compatibility with native. Sounds like you're all set, but in case it wasn't clear, the Dark Mode gadget can be disabled in favor of native dark mode, if you prefer.
 * Pinging @Jon (WMF) about the Appearance menu icon. I also did not know this was here! I had seen it, but just never clicked it. I think the icon should at least have a tooltip like the other icons. I also made this edit to MediaWiki:Gadget-dark-mode/compatibility with native to help people find the menu. &mdash; MusikAnimal  talk  19:17, 16 May 2024 (UTC)
