Showerthought: Why does every dark mode designer forget about form fields?
I was building out a client's dashboard last month in Chicago and spent 3 hours trying to figure out why their input boxes looked invisible in dark mode. Turned out I had the background and border both set to the same dark grey instead of adding a subtle lighter border around fillable areas. Has anyone else hit this same wall with form accessibility in dark themes?

Went through this exact mess on a project last spring. What finally fixed it for me was adding a 1px solid border with a light grey color to all input fields specifically for the dark mode variant.
