Plans for Dark Mode

[MixedMatched]

What I want to see in the next version of LavaOS

I don't think we should just implement dark mode. Instead, we should implement a full theming engine.* Not only would it be future-proofed, it would also be faster than doing if checks for every component.

• By theming-engine, I mean in-code, not in terms of GUI.

I totally agree!

And to implement all this, let's start doing another light theme? For example, just change the orange by another color. So, we can focusing on the engine's code before dealing with the choice of colors and icons.

Changing colors should be very easy, the icons are built into class files at compile time, so it would be extremely difficult to change it procedurally.

The dark theme can be made by activating a specific output of the micro controller, which inverts all the color of the screen (which would be more simple). https://github.com/numworks/epsilon/pull/947

To correct the last comment, numworks#947 does not rely on color inversion of the display controller. Instead it performs inline post-processing of drawing commands, allowing for effects like gamma correction on all platforms. I've recently updated the PR with epsilon's master.
