However, if content fails to correctly display in dark mode (or to adapt to it/take notice of it at all), for instance, it's not necessarily a direct failure of WCAG unless it's due to something else that *does* fail WCAG directly (as there's no requirement in WCAG about making sure that content adapts there). Content that complies with WCAG stands a better chance of adapting to specific user-set environments, but it's not guaranteed...and failure to adapt is not a failure of WCAG. That's what Steve was referring to. P -- Patrick H.
