What The Verge offers by itself

With the Mac set to dark appearance, the page stayed light.

What Cameleon does on The Verge

  • The Verge stays light when your Mac is dark, so the skin you set for dark appearance recolours it.
  • When your Mac is light, The Verge keeps its own colours unless you set a skin for light appearance, or choose one for The Verge.
  • A light skin, Sunset or Yardage Book, always goes ahead on The Verge, dark or not.
  • Choose a skin on The Verge and it is remembered for The Verge; other sites keep theirs.
  • Colour only: the layout, the text and the links stay as The Verge made them.

Measured 3 November 2026 on the page shown, a public one read without signing in, with Cameleon's own engine. Its cookie-consent dialog was taken off first, as it is once a reader answers it. WCAG AA is 4.5:1 for text and 3:1 for large text. How it was measured, and what it cannot fix.

The Verge belongs to its owner, who has nothing to do with Cameleon. The captures show its public page, to show the colours.
