I would add another criteria: the 3D piece which is represented should be realistically 3D-printable and not too fragile.

I would presume that anyone who makes 3D pieces is already keeping that one in mind. Since I don't have a 3D printer to test pieces with myself, I will leave it up to you and Bob to judge whether your pieces fit this criterion.

So, should I use #0000FF or another shade of blue?

Whatever you have been using is fine, or you could use the same color as the Alfaerie pieces use, which is #5984BD.

I was thinking, in keeping with the row of figures across the bottom of the Light-themed logo, to make the pieces different colors (nothing outrageous; mainly ivory, tan, grey, muted red, that sort of thing that you might see in an actual chess set).

While the Darker scheme can be used on monitors, tablets, and phones, I designed it mainly for monochrome eink displays, and my Likebook Mars eink device renders red as black. So colors with mostly red will not work out well on that or similar devices. Since blue is used for the Alfaerie pieces and shows up well on my Likebook Mars, I figured it would be a good choice.

I figure to leave any resizing and cropping to your (probably more capable) hands.

I suppose if I resize it against a black background, it will look fine.

I think I fixed the conditional. So try it again.

Let's try the cannon, the chancellor, the dragon king, and the phoenix.

The main reasons I'm interested in a Nightrider are that (1) it fits a nocturnal theme, (2) it resembles a regular Chess piece enough that someone could recognize it as a Chess variant piece if they saw it out of context, and (3) it is one of the better known fairy chess pieces. Some other pieces of yours that might work for the first two reasons are Midnighter, Moonrider, Thaumaturge, and Luna Pawn. So I would be interested in seeing these with a neutral background too.

I'm thinking of making a logo specifically for the Darker color scheme using piece designs for 3D printers. However, I want to use images without a background behind them, and I think it would be appropriate to include a Nightrider, though it doesn't look like anyone has made one. Since Bob Greenwade and Jean-Louis Cazaux are the most active in making such pieces, one piece from each might be appropriate. What ideas do you guys have?

Yes, the saving worked, but when writing the form on mobile, it was using the wrong condition to add " SELECTED" to the darker option. That's now corrected.

I have updated PHP to 8.1.28, and I will be going over the error logs for things I have to change to keep up with this new version. If anything stops working, let me know.

For me, light brown text in brown Dark mode is significantly less readable.

That's going to vary with the device and the person. That's why there is now a third color scheme.

I did not use the darker text color in globalindex.css, which the homepage uses, because it is mainly intended for making it easier to read long passages of text, which the homepage and other index pages do not have. It should affect text in lists if they are not links, but all the examples you gave of lists were filled with links. If you prefer a more high contrast display with white text on a dark background, you can use the Darker color scheme.

I have made the controls for changing the color scheme more accessible. They appear on the right of the menubar in desktop mode, and they appear at the bottom of the menu on mobile devices.

Done.

I temporarily made myself the co-author of one of your pages to get the link you get for editing the page. I had introduced a new line using the variable $type, but the rest of the script was using $itemtype for the value of Type. So I changed the variable name, and it started working correctly.

Both of you, please list specific pages this is a problem on.

I also changed the color for the vertical bar on blockquotes to the same color to match.

Since I didn't like how light this was in the light scheme, I considered other colors than darkkhaki for --nav-highlight-color, but I kept coming back to darkkhaki for that. So instead I looked for another custom property to use for the color of the vertical bar, and after trying out currentColor, I settled on --visited-link-color. I like how it stands out in each color scheme, and previous comments usually share the feature with visited links of being previously read.

I made the following changes to the color schemes:

1. I replaced the uses of color-mix for the link colors with custom properties using values calculated by color-mix in Firefox. For the dark scheme, these are equal mixes of white with blue, indigo, or green, the same as they were before. For the light scheme, the mixes used 75% blue, indigo, or green and 25% black, as the equal mixes seemed too dark, and the unmodified colors seemed too bright.
2. For comments, I changed the color of the line for displaying a page title from --nav-border-color to --nav-highlight-color, as olive was giving me a queasy feeling in combination with the link colors in the light scheme.
3. I also changed the color for the vertical bar on blockquotes to the same color to match.
4. For the dark scheme, I switched the values for --nav-border-color and --nav-highlight-color. This returns the two things mentioned above to the color they were before. Since the new nav highlight color is now lighter, it is standing out better against dark backgrounds.
