I know I'm getting on a bit but does anyone else struggle to read the text on the portal? The use of pale grey and yellow text on a white background reduces the contrast ratios to the point where I can't read much of what it says. I'm inclined to ask if the web designers picked up a book or a newspaper that had pale grey text on a white page, would they buy it? Would anyone? There's an option to use a dark theme on the App, which makes all the text easily readable, but there's nothing for the Portal.

If your using Chrome you can force dark mode onto all sites - type chrome://flags/ in URL and press return and search for dark mode, a bit extreme to get this one page right but an option if you don't use chrome normally.

Let's be honest the portal isn't that great even if it did have a dark mode.

Yes, it's abysmal and I've emailed them about it. It's the same with the technical documentation ( what little there is ), pale grey text on a white background. I'm on a MacBook and have tweaked all the accessibility options for higher contrast / bolder text but I still struggle. I even printed some pages out when I was looking at the WiFi dongle reset section but it was no better.
