Toggle to hide white ring around Instant Messaging icons (when minimized) about xkit-rewritten HOT 5 CLOSED

For the record, this colour has the same value as the post background, and it is set by the theme in use. For default/deep blue theme, the ring will appear white, but on other themes like dark mode it will be far more discreet.
I don't know if this will be integrated to xkit (i'm not an admin), but in the meantime @RobBoyBlunder , since it can be an accessibility issue, here are two workarounds :

• Change your theme to one where site background and posts background are a similar colour (dark theme, pure white...)
• Install an addon that let you set custom css for websites, and add the code below for www.tumblr.com (it will keep the ring white, but a much softer colour) :

    #base-container > div:nth-of-type(3) div[role="figure"] {
        background-color: rgba(var(--white), 0.3) !important;
    }

I try to avoid nth-of-type selectors, since they can stop working or do unexpected things based on subtle changes to the Tumblr front end DOM structure. How about button[aria-label^="Conversation with"] as the parent part of the descendent selector? Of course, that makes the style specific to English-language Tumblr.

Agreed ! My tumblr isn't in English so I avoided using this one. Does work though !
In the meantime I looked for a better selector, and looks like button div[role="figure"] does the trick. I tried to look thoroughly and it seems to consistently select only message bubbles, but there's no 100% guarantee. That would give you

    button div[role="figure" {
        background-color: rgba(var(--white), 0.3) !important;
    }

@Charlignon Oh, I didn't know that, thank you for the tip! I'll try that out and appreciate it! :)
