Dark Mode for RTE Background in TYPO3 v13
0%
Description
Currently, in TYPO3 v13, when using dark mode, the Rich Text Editor background remains white. This creates a contrast issue for users in dark mode. It would be helpful if the RTE background could also switch to a dark theme, matching the overall TYPO3 dark mode interface. Would you consider implementing this feature?

- Category changed from RTE (rtehtmlarea + ckeditor) to Backend User Interface
While the contents.css file of the inner section of the RTE could probably match this background color, it would possibly introduce issues with CSS rules applied on top of that and then no longer matching colors. Also, the CKEditor Icon/toolbar itself is probably not without our simple control.
Having said that, I leave it up for our more skilled developers on that matter to continue ;-)
Even though this affects the RTE specifically, the issue itself is more a Backend User Interface thing, so for now I'll change the category of this issue (hope that's okay).

IMHO the RTE's content area should look like the frontend, not like the BE interface.
I usually apply the FE's CSS to that area so the editor sees what that content will look like in the FE.
Now, I still have to make a light/dark FE so I'm not sure how to handle this in RTE's content area but I still think that it should be independent from light/dark mode/appearance of the BE.
