font color is black

[Yakarup]

On default settings, except for the background image - Random Tile. I've reinstalled the style. Answer font colors are black. Post vote counts (scores) are black. Original post font color is black. Am using latest version v5.1.2

dirty fix

p, .js-vote-count, body  {
            color: #ddd !important;
}

Dirty fix, improved:

Add

  p, .js-vote-count, body, pre, code {
    color: var(--highlight-color) !important;
  }
  pre, code {
    background: var(--highlight-bg) !important;
  }

and change the following

    --highlight-bg: var(--black-200) !important;
    --highlight-color: var(--fc-dark);

to

    --highlight-bg: #181818 !important;
    --highlight-color: #ddd !important;

Not a fix since this can't be done using user CSS, but using Greasemonkey or the like to add theme-dark to the body element's classes works remarkably well:

document.getElementsByTagName('body')[0].classList.add('theme-dark')

It works so well that some problematic areas like diffs in the revision history of posts appear better than before. (the actual colours might not be to your taste, but at least they're readable now).

I also want to mention that only stackoverflow is unaffected. Otherwise, yeah, the font color is black on every stackexchange network.

As a quick fix I've inserted before line 67:

		--theme-body-font-color: /*[[strong-color]]*/;

PR created. I've checked multiples SE sites, no more black text.

@SylwesterZarebski 's solution is already much better, but @muru 's solution also fixes the code blocks' background color!
Thank you both for your solutions!

[SylwesterZarebski]

@mpeter50 : Can You provide a link with wrong code blocks bg colours? I would check it.

Here is an example: https://superuser.com/questions/1613852/how-do-i-run-a-sudo-command-on-a-remote-machine-using-ssh

This is how it looks for me with your fix (no userscript, repo's userstyle edited by adding --theme-body-font-color: /*[[strong-color]]*/; after line 66):

This is how it looks without editing the userstyle, but with the userscript:

[muru]

@mpeter50 it looks like you're not using the StackOverflow Syntax Themes usercss. Check the README, it's "a required additional style".

[mpeter50]

Oh, thats right, thanks for pointing that out! I have now installed that style and this way its ok with this modification, without a userscript.

This way inline code blocks are less visually distinct than before, but after tweaking the settings of the syntax style a little its better then before! Just jotting it down in case anyone will find it useful.
