Using dark theme text is shown in grey

[norcino]

I use @storybook/theming ad dev dependecy and in manager.js

addons.setConfig({
  theme: themes.dark
});

doing so the text "Left-to-right" is still shown in dark grey making it impossible to read.

Is it possible to customise it?
Can I otherwise create a global button at the top?

Hi, I don't think this has ever been tested with theming in mind, or has any way to customize the text color. That seems like a reasonable thing to ask for, so we should be able to add support for that. (PRs welcome :-))

I'm not really sure what you mean by "a global button at the top".

I am not an expert front end developer but i can try to figure a way to handle it.

Fair :), you can add global buttons in the toolbar at the top of the page, there you can add custom buttons to switch language, for example, and I would like to have access there to the LTR feature, this has been very useful already!

I see what you're saying. I think that could be nice.
I don't think I would want to make that change by default because it is a major change for people who currently expect the toggle in the panel. However I think it would be interesting to at least prototype, and possibly have an opt-in way of changing where the toggle is.

Yes the option to have it is a good idea, I rather activate the toolbar rather than the panel, because I find the behaviour clashing a bit with the idea that Panel's context is the story (generally), toolbar is global.
And when I enable RTL for a story, that setting will remain active until I manually switch it, even changing stories.
Just saying, I am no expert, it has been just around a month that I got started with storybook.

In my opinion having this placed in the "top right" global tools as "global option" affecting all stories would be helpful in improving the overall UX of this feature.
