The button generated by the online tool has a transparent background, making the button all but unreadable when a user has dark mode enabled.
Example from github:
The image should be changed to have a white background, or shadows/outline on the letters so as to be readable.
Thanks for raising this issue @wanderingstan - I forgot this app even existed, it was still using Gomix cdn links!
I went ahead and updated the button with a white background and new logo. You’ll need to re-generate the code to get it, which doesn’t help those who have already embedded the button, but I’ll work on fixing that too soon.
Thank you!
…Looks like it also needs to be changed on the app that generates from github project:
https://github-import.glitch.me/
And aesthetic feedback: The new buttons are larger and with larger text, which looks a bit “loud”.
Okay, I’ll fix that too and file the aesthetic feedback for when we do any brand refreshes in the future!
The online tool for generating buttons is no longer available? It looks like a fix was recently offered, but now I “have discovered a glitch”. I came here hoping to find an update that would generate buttons viewable in both dark and light modes.
Update:
Here is the broken link: https://remix-button.glitch.me/
…but this link works: https://github-import.glitch.me/ …thanks for the button update!
2nd update:
The generator at the link that works still generates the old button. However, the generator displays an example of the new “Remix This” button. So… not working but sure would be great if it did.
I did grab the link to the new button svg and made a workaround. It displays properly in GitHub, but after the remix, glitch ignores the width setting in the markdown and the button is huge on glitch. Here is the workaround for anyone interested:

Since I’m a new user on the forum, it won’t let me include 2 links…
Hi there - https://remix-button.glitch.me/ is running for me right now!
