[solved] if it's been fixed.
EDIT: This is now integrated to Photon as the Neutral theme.
I did this a while ago, when theming was first introduced. I wanted a dark theme that wasn't black, and also not tinted.
{"other":{"black":"#000000","white":"#ffffff"},"primary":{},"zinc":{"700":"#484e57","800":"#373b41","900":"#282a2e","925":"#202225","950":"#1d1f21"},"slate":{}}
If you dislike the new default colors, just go to theme settings and select "photon classic"
This new update allows instance admins to set their own themes (via PUBLIC_THEME) and allows you to have multiple theme presets.
It's available on phtn.app right now, coming soon to a release
I like these colors, as it gives a bit more personality than neutral gray.
But what do you think? If I did make this the default dark theme, I would add presets to the theme page including a "classic" preset.
If you'd like to use this theme right now, here:

arguably a bigger update than v1.31, lots of backend changes for better speed
i've been using this command palette a lot because it makes doing everything so fast. let me know if there's any action or link you'd like added, since it's very easy to do.

I'm working on a command palette for Photon, which will allow you to press ctrl + p or / to open a prompt where you can type and go to a page or a recent post instantly.
Are there any actions or links that you'd want me to add?
I'm working on adding a feature that will convert tags in the title to flairs, which you can add custom filters/rules to.
One year ago, on June 24, 2023, I saw the migration to Lemmy. I wanted to make something like libreddit, so I decided to mess with Lemmy's API. Lemmy became something I wanted to use daily, so I got to work, and I made the first commit:
I started with something that reused components from another project of mine, Imagi. It looked awful and had no features. But, some people actually started using it, and I was motivated to continue this.
After about a month 0.0.1 was released, with very basic features.
This is great on OLED screens, the background is true black and darker colors are used in many spots. Orange is the accent color to not burn your eyes with blue light, but you can change it.

Been using photon for a while now and I really enjoy the minimalistic design!
However, not user about this new floating bar, look very "phone" to me, and I dont really see the utility of having previously-visited posts and communities.
