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:

{"other":{},"primary":{"100":"#f3f4f6"},"zinc":{"100":"#f3f4f6","300":"#d1d5db","400":"#9ca3af","500":"#6b7280","600":"#4b5563","700":"#374151","800":"#1f2937","900":"#111827","925":"#080C19","950":"#030712"},"slate":{}}

I think it would be nice if Photon instance admins could set their own default themes.

With the update that would go along with this it'd be possible

Nice. I like this kind of diversity, where each instance kinda has its own look.

I think I need a little time to get used to it, but it might be good. The black theme was a bit too black on some screens.

Do it

Personally, i think the blue accent doesnt look very good, i prefer the white

[-] Xylight@lemdro.id 3 points 4 months ago

Still experimenting with the accent, I'm gonna use a white with a very slight blue tint

Ive never been a fan of noticeably color-tinted (saturated?) background colors, if the pure b&w is unpopular id try something like discord's mobile app, with a dark grey as the background and some color as the accent.

Also i think having the corners of ui elements rounded more like in the screenshot looks worse.

The screenshot still looks better than every other web lemmy client though

i think i had a knee-jerk reaction to seeing the theme, i think it looks quite nice after using it for a bit, so im all for the proposed one becoming the new default as everyone else seems to prefer it, even though i prefer the old theme.

also having an "amoled" option in the color scheme dropdown that gives you the original theme would be cool.
