    One of the most common dark mode related problems I face in email marketing is ensuring that my emails are optimized for both light and dark mode. This means making sure that all images, text, and other elements are visible and legible in both modes. Additionally, I need to ensure that my emails are responsive and look good on all devices, regardless of the mode they are in. Another issue I face is making sure that my emails are accessible to all users, regardless of their mode preference. This means ensuring that my emails are compatible with assistive technologies such as screen readers. Finally, I need to make sure that my emails are optimized for both light and dark mode in terms of performance, as some elements may not render correctly in one mode or the other.

    @samalyx I assume that that the persisting problem is ensuring that all elements perform uniform on all modes and devices with minimum modification for every version
    Most common dark mode related problems in email marketing include poor contrast, issues with background color, and images not displaying properly. Im looking forward to trying out your tool :)

    Dark mode can present some challenges for email marketing, particularly in ensuring that the email content is legible and visually appealing in both light and dark mode. Here are some of the most common dark mode-related problems that email marketers face: - Insufficient contrast: When designing an email for dark mode, it's important to ensure that there is enough contrast between the text and the background. In dark mode, white text on a black background may look visually appealing, but it can be hard to read if the contrast isn't high enough. - Image quality: Images can look different in dark mode than in light mode, particularly if they were optimized for a light background. Images that have a lot of white or light colors may look washed out in dark mode. - Brand consistency: If your brand relies heavily on specific colors or color schemes, it can be challenging to ensure that these colors look consistent in both light and dark mode. - Rendering issues: Different email clients and devices may render dark mode differently, so it's important to test your email in various environments to ensure that it looks good across the board. - Limited support: Not all email clients and devices support dark mode, so it's important to have a fallback option in case the recipient's email client doesn't support it. To address these issues, email marketers can use best practices for designing emails for dark mode, such as using high-contrast colors, optimizing images for both light and dark backgrounds, and testing emails in multiple environments. It's also important to communicate clearly with subscribers about any changes in appearance that may occur when viewing emails in dark mode.

    @farhan_tariq Thanks Farhan! Really interesting to learn about the fallback option for limited support and issue related to branding colors.
