Several QuantaStor dialogs are not on any toolbar.<br /> <br /> The colour deliberately survives dark mode: the DarkMode extension applies<br /> &lt;code&gt;filter: invert(1) hue-rotate(180deg)&lt;/code&gt;, which flips lightness while<br /> preserving hue, so the dark green renders as a light green on a dark ground.<br /> <br /> [[Category:Templates]]<br /> &lt;/noinclude&gt;</div> Qadmin
