Improve Readability of Text Wrapped in [code] Wrappers

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on improving the readability of text wrapped in [code] wrappers, which some users found too light. While most users reported that the text appeared black and normal in various browsers, an issue was noted on Apple iPad Safari, where the text appeared gray and difficult to read. A change was made to enable code line numbers, which inadvertently affected the text's appearance, making it lighter. After reverting this change, users confirmed that the text was now darker and easier to read. Overall, the adjustments led to improved visibility for the code text.

Hi, is it possible to make the text that is wrapped in [code[ wrappers darker and easier to read? It's so light right now:

Code:
test
Look at this text! It's hard to read!
Oh noes!

In my browser, the text is black.
 
It looks fine for me too (I'm using FireFox). What browser are you using?
 
Checking platforms:

Desktop Windows IE 11: Text is black and normal weight.

Android Tablet Opera: Text is black and normal weight.

Apple iPad Safari: Text appears 'gray' - I think it's black, but too light on the 'weight'.
 
I've checked w/ IE 10 and Firefox and it's black.

I changed it. MW was correct :)
Of course MW was correct! PF members never lie. ;)

I'm interested in what you changed, from "what" to "what"?

I enabled code line numbers which apparently changed the style. I just revert back.

Haha, it was definitely very light when I looked at it last night! But it's dark and better now. :D

I'm using windows 7 on Firefox.

I think, as Greg said, the code line numbers were making everything very light. Yesterday, I saw line numbers, and very light text. Now I see code without line numbers and dark.

I can confirm text was light yesterday.
