[openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website] Dark Mode for maps (Issue #5328)

[Andy Allan]

> The next question is why?

I think I've answered this multiple times already. The cartographers should be in charge of what should be shown for their maps in each desired mode. We should not apply any filters unless the cartographers have asked for them. That's "why".

It will make every layer do exactly what the cartographers want to see for their layers when dark mode is desired. I don't know what the other cartographers will decide, maybe most layers will look the same as in light mode, certainly at least one layer will be different. Maybe some users will be surprised that requesting dark mode (or setting the dark mode overrides) will not affect all the map layers, but it will affect at least one of them immediately and perhaps more in the future. I think "not all map styles have an alternative look yet" is reasonably easy to understand.

It's not clear to me if you are asking these questions because you don't understand what I want, or because you think I have missed something that should be considered, or if you are asking these questions because you have an alternative proposal that you would prefer to see happen instead.
