[Bug]: Bold in dark mode isn't very #442

What happened?

I rarely go to dark mode, so maybe it is a well-known tradeoff. With a dark mode theme, bold does not accentuate a word or phrase; it looks much the same as plain.

How do we make it happen?

Review bold text and see if you can spot the difference at a quick glance.

Version

598 mint xfce

Where?

Linux app

    This could be device related, and a screenshot would help. Could you please post one here? Just copy paste into the form at GitHub as a reply works.

    I did and deleted it as I could see the bolding on Github. So it is just me.
    Thank you

    We'll still investigate, we had a similar issue in the past #300

    Thanks for reporting this, it is not just you. In dark mode, bold used the same color as normal text, so only the weight was different, and on a dark background that is easy to miss. Bold is now brighter than the text around it in every dark theme. The fix ships with v0.603.4.
