  I changed to the writr theme but all my LaTeX annotation are now broken. All the images produced by the $latex$ tags, has a yellow foreground with black background.

  For example the code $latex 2 times 10^{20}$ produce the following image

  Thanks for the report. I think this might have something to do with the colour scheme you chose, since the same code looks OK on my test site with Writr active:

  

  I’ll report this issue to our developers and will keep you posted here.

  Thanks for your answer,

  Sorry but I don’t have the same behavior. I changed to all the color schemes, tried to make a fresh post and nothing works.

  I made a dummy test post with this code

  $latex 2times 10^{20}$
  $latex sin^2 theta + cos^2 theta = 1$
  $latex e^{ipi} + 1 = 0$

  Here is the result

  I haven’t any CSS customization upgrade, so I can’t change the colors.

  Best.

  Hi there, you’ll need to use this technique to change the foreground and background colours of your formulas:

  LaTeX

  Our developers are looking at a long-term change in how LaTeX colours are determined but I don’t have an ETA. The technique above is the best way to ensure consistent display of your formulas.

  Hi.
  Yes, I know about changing the foreground and background in Latex formulas. Unfortunately 90% of my posts are about mathematics and change all of them, in my opinion, it’s not worth it.

  The only solution for me now, it’s change to another theme. Maybe I could revisit it in the future to see if something has changed.

  Regards.

  Sure, I completely understand.
