By "system theme" I mean the setting /org/gnome/desktop/interface/color-scheme which can have the following values: 'default'; 'prefer-dark'; 'prefer-light'
I regularly change my system theme and have my overall setup set up in a way that mostly follows said system theme. When doing so, however, my colour of choice for the tophat meters for dark theme is pretty much invisible on light theme and vice versa.
The following two possible solutions come to mind, I'd personally be fine with either:
make setting the meter color be opt-in. That way, if the user doesn't set a meter color themselves the meters just follow the system theme (like the icons do, e.g.)
provide two preference values to the user. One which gets used for light mode and one which gets used for dark mode.
(I haven't been able to influence the meter color in scripts using either of the dconf or gsettings tools. If that's possible and I just haven't figured it out that would also solve my issue)
