QR Code Color Inversion Bug in v2.0.0

[Perlover]

We are looking for developers for your web wallet.
Your wallet version 2.0.0 — and all earlier versions — displays QR codes incorrectly.
Have you actually tried scanning your own QR codes?
Do you understand the difference between white and black colors?

Hi, Alby Go is not a web wallet. It's a mobile wallet. Can you give screenshots showing your issue?

I wrote the text using ChatGPT and didn't specify to it. I just told it version 2.0 of the web wallet, and it inserted this term itself, web wallet.

You could make a request for Lightning or Bitcoin yourself and see an example.

If anything, I currently have the light theme set, so it doesn't matter at all. I even stopped the app, checked it on the light theme, on the dark theme, and everything still comes out the same.

To be honest, my first comment was written under the influence of emotions, because before that I opened the app, it was version 1 something, but there was another problem, the QR code was overlapped by the top panel with a back button, which covered the area of the QR code that made it unreadable. Then I went, updated the app, and tried scanning the QR code again, but saw that it was inverted and wouldn't scan. So, all of this really frustrated me at that moment, and I reported the issue.

Now, I've started to look into the topic more deeply and realized that some scanners can scan inverted QR codes, but the scanner that was in the Alby extension in the browser couldn't scan this QR code, which really annoyed me at the time (one problem after another).

But anyway, despite the fact that some scanners can scan such QR codes, there are a lot of scanners that don't understand inverted QR codes. Therefore, I highly recommend changing this display behavior.
