Since this probably requires changes to the user agent stylesheets, it would be great to agree on a cross-browser set of dark scheme default link colors.

If it requires changes to the UA sheet, then it should probably be a spec issue.

If someone wants to give this a shot, I think the implementation would probably go somewhere like this:

  • Make the style system understand/parse the color-scheme property
  • In the each widget, use the color-scheme info to switch between light/dark widgets, nsNativeBasicTheme or GTK might be the easiest ones to start with.
  • Update the system colors to change based on the color-scheme info. I don't think an internal function (-internal-light-dark-color(black, white)) like Chromium does is appropriate for this, since Gecko supports custom document colors, so a binary function isn't exhaustive.

It might also be worth updating the preferences UI for document colors to also include dark theme color settings (also worth looking at how this should work with forced colors mode).

Tentatively taking this. I'm not starting on it right away, but I'll probably dive into this within a month or so.

There's two kinds of test failures remaining:

Given privileged code is already using this and we know of no other
blockers, I think it's fine to let it ride the trains.
