Force dark theme for content in Chrome depending on system settings
I know there is a setting in `chrome://flags` which forces dark mode for content ("Auto dark mode for Web content", `#enable-force-dark`). This works pretty well on all websites, even those which don't explicitly support dark mode. However, this setting seems to be independent of Android's system-wi...
I know there is a setting in chrome://flags which forces dark mode for content ("Auto dark mode for Web content", #enable-force-dark). This works pretty well on all websites, even those which don't explicitly support dark mode. However, this setting seems to be independent of Android's system-wide Dark theme. I would like Chrome to display content in dark mode each time I switch Android to Dark mode, and revert back to normal when Android is in Light mode. How can I achieve this? Bonus question: is it possible for a website to tell Chrome to follow system-wide Light/Dark theme? This would, at least, solve the problem for websites that I develop.

I use my phone on dark mode, but there is a specific badly done app that uses black text on dark background when using dark mode. So, I want to use light mode only for that app. How do I do that? I'd like something that isn't an app constantly running in the background, so something like an XPosed module would have the best performance. However, I'm open to non-root solutions, especially for anyone who's reading this question and doesn't have root.

How to set dark mode except for text?
I like dark mode but the problem is that it is difficult to read text on a black background so that when I read in dark mode, my eyes become watery. So, is there a way to exclude texts from darkmode, such that there is a white box behind texts..?

So Basically I want to exclude only one app (Ratio launcher if it matters) and found no apparent way to do it easily. Closest I got while searching, I came across DarQ . It allows to apply dark mode to specific apps. But the problems with this are as: 1. I do not want to include app as there are 250+ apps on my phone (don't ask me what do I do with them cause even I don't know ha!) so just ticking all of them does not seem feasible as I want it all over the place and not on specific app only. There is no way to backup app list as well so not just a one time hussle. 2. It needs to plug in my phone to PC and run their script everytime I restart my phone. 3. Even when I do not restart my phone but leave it alone for a while on battery saver mode and open an app, dark mode is gone again. Open DarQ only to find out it needs me to run that script again. 4. Installing a new app does not add it to the list automatically so I have to start all over everytime I install a new app or uninstall and reinstall an existing app. So obviously far from ideal. But even if it did work flawlessly, it would be a more feasible solution for me to have exclude dark mode functionality then include dark mode one. Would be so much better if it were just builtin to the system's Force Dark mode. P.S. My phone isn't rooted. Any suggestion which might better situation even a bit might be good as well.
