# Dark mode

- Missing slide previews
  - We request the previews but get an error instead form the server side
  - We have some error in the server side and doesn’t correspond tot he request → Szymon prepared a work-around : [Mark slide preview as fetched when it arrives by eszkadev · Pull Request #6942 · CollaboraOnline/online · GitHub](https://github.com/CollaboraOnline/online/pull/6942)
    - But Paris will look at the root cause

  - a11y fixes:
    - Arrows keys should directly trigger the element and not just the outline(focus)
    - Not have preview images in the tab order – non-interactive things not in tab order
    - Focus wouldn’t cycle and would jump to the document → now Szymon on that
    - Triggering the accesseys was quite flimsy in any other non chrome based browser

- Attila
  - Now working on iOS → debugging

- Szymon
  - Working on performance (calc) → requesting too many tiles while scrolling plus unecessary invalidadtions
  - Fixed TypeError (undefined stuff)
  - JSDialog : enabled dark mode for tuneled wdigets (rendered by core sdie)

- Michael / Caolan – Performance
  - Lots of things fixed…
    - double rendering of canvases
    - much improved debugging mode help→about triple click – faster, better rendering.
    - Storing compressed tiles + deltas in each tile.
    - Monotonic time-stamp consistency end-to-end etc. …
    - re-factored lots of code – and reduced duplication

  - Found some good problems from calc:
    - [24.04/23.05 Generic Calc performance ticket · Issue #6893 · CollaboraOnline/online · GitHub](https://github.com/CollaboraOnline/online/issues/6893) – getTextSelection nightmare which we try to do on keypresss – consuming vast memory & time.

      - trouble with referring to slides with numbers, since they get invalidated on reorder or insert or delete
      - happy to help if the problem is written done (Szymon)
      - Difficult to know where the slide reordering happens → so, paused for now
      - Comparing now the drag n drop status and the insert new slide
        - Trying to find slide id
