Just a description of the changes from the previous version of the patch:

* Improved the dark color scheme
* Fixed white pixels around code blocks in markdown pages
* Fixed invisible text in formatters by wrapping even the light CSS in media queries. Unfortunately this disables highlighting on old browsers, which instead show black text.
* Fixed CSS for highlight 3
* Added "only all and" to the dark media query, so it gets ignored by (extremely) old browsers.

Tested on Firefox 102.7.0 ESR, Firefox 109, Chromium 109 and Netsurf 3.10. Netsurf is a browser that does not support color schemes, and defaults to the light theme. Firefox has a "resist fingerprinting" mode, in which it always uses the light theme.
