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.

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

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.

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