People go back and forth about "No one uses light themes" and "Dark themes are hard to read"

The true take is why are we forced to choose between one light and one dark theme when we could just as easily be given access to mod the entire color-scheme ourselves?

@trysdyn but tailoring an experience to your preferences is a bad thing and breaks the artistic vision of the creator /s

@synthgal I was going to go with "Branding" more than vision. I'm pretty sure this is why Discord gets pissy about anyone modding their CSS. Both excuses bite though.

@trysdyn Braaaaanding

But yes, the user should be the one to determine their preferred look in my opinion. That's one of the things I like about Gemini

@trysdyn you'd think some basic rgb sliders in a settings page for the various elements would do wonders but peeps have associated brands with colors so hard that it's almost counterproductive to that so here we are with twitter blue and twitter white with blue highlights

@trysdyn We did, but unfortunately when gtk3 came and replaced the perfectly good (great) theming api with a bastardized version of CSS decades of previous work in theme development was thrown out.
