Please set npm's page background

If you're using a browser with a dark theme then it shows that the npm programmers didn't even bother to set the page color, making the site unusable:

hey @RichardJECooke. how are you setting the dark theme? What browser and operating system?

I've tried dark mode on OSX with both chrome + Safari as well as Dark Theme on Android with Chrome and have been unable to recreate your report

Firefox - about:config - browser.display.background_color - #000000

Sets a new tab to black so it doesn't blind you at night. Most sites set the page background whatever color they use, usually white. But npm doesn't.

Thanks for clarifying... I've opened a ticket with our engineering team

As an FYI / extra "forwarding info with context", this also applies to embedded web browsers that are affixed and also support alpha color background transparency as shown in this [very large] image.

Context: Tabletop Simulator on Steam

Hopefully final Edit: I'd assume the same would happen if I used my phone to make an overlay in Tasker's built-in Scene or the AutoApps app AutoTools Web Screen thing.

@CtrlAltCuteness thanks for sharing! This is on the engineering backlog to get fixed but unsure what the timeline is. I'm checking with the team

This should now be fixed 🎉

Unless Tabletop Simulator changed, I can confirm it works now.

Why does it happen?

html, body {
    /* Acts kind-of like so: */
    background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.0);
    color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 1.0);
}
