Choose from various handcrafted color themes for the UI

Michael von Hohnhorst
A theme can have a huge impact on the vibe and feel of the app when we use it. Since PKM is a personal endeavor, the ability to customize one's thinking environment is important.
Options could involve:
- high contrast | normal
- cool gray | warm gray | neutral gray
- colorful | monochrome
Different color accents and hues
- very warm gray scale+ amber accent colors
- mauve-tinted gray scale + mauve accent color
Capacities will hand-craft all themes, so it won't be possible to insert custom CSS. This would simply generate too many degrees of freedom and potential UI issues. Special themes can however be requested, and if the interest is high enough, we'll develop them for everyone.

Can we get the ability to modify our theme colors (global background and text)?

IIRC correctly you guys don't want to open up capaciites to third party mods like Obsidian. It just leads to a messy situation where people are focused on what add-ons to try instead of just using the PKM to do the things that they need.
I agree with this. However, the current color themes don't work for everyone. Dark background and white text is standard everywhere, but it tends to make text harder to read because it creates halation. So when the light theme is just annoying my eyes because its super bright at night time, I have no option but to switch to a worse option.
I know I can change the text color, but I can't find a way to default it to another color, I would like a hassle free way to address this.

cool gray | warm gray | neutral gray
This is the key... The curretn blueish color is not that great.

I know themes are tough to implement, so my idea here is a little unfair in jumping steps. 😅
But it would be honestly amazing to be able to have different themes per object (not embedded, though). There's a different _feeling_ when working with task then, say, a creative draft.
Not sure exactly how it would work, but just food for thought.

I would love to have the option of a different theme.
the white is too bright, the dark one is fine on one of my machines, on another though I barely see any lines, card borders, etc.
just a warm grey one would be good compromise

I would very much like some more themes to choose from. Mostly due to readability (e.g. the light theme is very...bright, being able to have the off white adjustable. Also dark theme has some issues as already mentioned here.

I find myself unable to see if I've selected options in the dark theme. Additionally, I really miss the Things theme from Obsidian. Would be cool if we could have user developed themes.

I have a really hard time picking out the "background colors" in the app from the dark theme. Some customization here could definitely help me find a color that "popped"... or basically gives me a chance to see where my headers are in the first place.
