Dark Mode / Light Mode in new online Swift Book

[alebmp]

Description

I would like to point out that in the new format of the Swift Book (on Swift.org), a footer has been inserted which does not allow the dark mode/light mode switch to be seen and used. The mode therefore depends solely on the general setting of the Mac. In my case, this is definitely inconvenient because I can only use Dark Mode which (at least for me) is very annoying.

I don't know if this is the right place for this report, and if not, I apologise.

Not sure if this belongs in the website or swift-book repo.

Can this issue be transferred to Swift-DocC-Render, as suggested by @krilnon on the forums?

@krilnon Do you have commit access here to transfer this issue?

[krilnon]

Thanks for the ping; somehow I missed Ben's earlier. This is fixed by #110 for this book, and I filed a broader issue for DocC-Render here: swiftlang/swift-docc-render#546.

Could I make a request for dark mode to be not-so-dark mode? Or at least an option of an in-between like the Rust book has? The current dark mode contrast is a bit too stark, so the the white lettering is also a bit too strong.

@griffrawk Can you open an issue against DocC about that please? It's good feedback, but TSPL doesn't define its own style sheet. It just uses the colors that come from DocC.
