Re: FYI: specification for embeddeding a dark/bright mode toggle switch into websites

Hi Leonie,

Thanks for the heads up. I suspect that there might be people from AG who’d like to be involved, but I’m not sure where that work would end up? It didn’t look like it would live in an HTML or CSS spec, as the features it is asking for are already specced, it’s more of an authoring requirement.

I could see some authoring advice ending up in informative materials for contrast guidelines in WCAG 3, or perhaps a guideline if someone can find some research on the impact for people with disabilities.

I’ve added a link to the Color and Contrast subgroup page<https://github.com/w3c/wcag3/wiki/Color-contrast-guideline-subgroup> for now.

Thanks,

-Alastair

Hello AG,

This proposal has been made to the Web Incubator CG (WICG). The proposal
is essentially about having authoring guidance, and since that isn't
something W3C does very much outside of accessibility, we thought you
might be interested:
https://github.com/WICG/proposals/issues/125

This is FYI, so if it isn't something the WG feels might have a place
within WCAG, let me know.

Léonie
