This doesn't work for Vivaldi for some reason. I get a dark grey screen, text says "Press esc to exit full screen mode" for a few seconds, then that disappears leaving just the dark grey. No matter which colour I select in the app. Seems like a weird thing not to work in a usually pretty good browser but I'm not sure exactly what this is using.


sort by: page size:

Try ALT+m to toggle monochrome mode.

Yes! I thought the Safari example above had just dimmed the rest of the screen as a trick, but then I closed the window and it was all still grey and dull. I have been spoiled now I have glimpsed 'true white'.

Perhaps use white when viewing the video is playing normally on the site and go back to black when viewing in full screen mode.

That is frustrating, and very bad accessibility.

It should always be grey = off, darker = on.


Doesn’t work unfortunately - if you set it to black it’s not going to do what you expect (the text is still grey, so you can see it).

If you press back to try and enable colour blind mode you have to come back tomorrow.

Maybe try disabling TrueTone? Also, in Accessibility > Display try enabling Reduce transparency.

How are you adjusting the colours? The page is not interactive on my device, and I see no controls of any sort.

I missed the grayscale option at first sight and discarded that solution. Thought it could only invert colors.

To make it clear: NegativeScreen has a grayscale option with default hotkey F11.


Seems like something that could be solved pretty easily by having self-control and not installing those apps on the device.

Besides, I would have no interest in doom-scrolling black and white anyway. My app timers on my phone, when they switch to greyscale, I immediately lose interest on whatever it was.

I'm having an issue using the settings. I'd like to use the application with a specific UI - greenish background, black text, highlighting what's selected. The way I've configured it sort of works, but has a white background when I move the cursor around. Here are the settings I’m using and a screenshot of the problem.


i had a similar complaint when the github navigation bar turned grey, but I just don't even notice it anymore. hard for me to discern UX principles here from user familiarity.

It's setting your phone/screen to stop displaying color, instead just showing everything in greyscale. I believe that on Android you can currently set something like a bedtime for your phone that will stop displaying colors at a certain time, and if you have any time limits for apps then during the last minute before you run out of time it will turn grey too.

Its possible that its better to leave the option more inaccessible to further incentivize yourself from reverting back to color mode. Maybe those few extra steps of converting back to color will stop you from doing so

Are you sure you're not forcing colour on with an alias or something? I'm pretty sure it's off by default.

input with a gray background means it is disabled. seeing it here as active input is immediate no go for me

Update: This script [0] seems to work:

I'll have to look up why later. I think it's just a later version of the script I was using earlier.

I don't know if it'll help, but it's something you could try once or twice and see.

I also checked to see if there was a windows version of the script, and found this: [1]. Also [2]. Which may be slightly more useful.

There are larger e-ink monitors but they're all expensive.

Finally: Back when I had a kindle-style kindle and not a kindle fire tablet, it had a web browser built in. I have no idea about the current functionality on up to date ones.

I've noticed this phenomenon before, then with the V File Viewer in CSV table mode until I changed its default colors.

This page did not seem to trigger it though.


I cannot for the life of me figure out how to fix this. Maybe someone here knows. I define the fullscreen bg color:

    bg:fullscreen, bg:-webkit-full-screen, bg:-moz-full-screen {
      background-color: rgba(255,255,255,0);
    }
But it does not get respected
