Please add a darker dark mode #1160

Closed Lightspill closed 8 months ago

Lightspill commented 8 months ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

The dark mode is dark grey background not black. An actual black background is much easier for me to read against.

Describe the solution you'd like

I'd like it if the dark mode actually had a black background, or there were some theme that could make it so.

Describe alternatives you've considered

I don't know of any alternatives, the current dark-ish grey is not nearly dark enough and harder to read against.

Additional context

I have a visual impairment that makes me more sensitive to excess light.

For now, you can add your own custom themes. See the FAQ: https://github.com/johnfactotum/foliate/blob/gtk4/docs/faq.md#how-to-use-custom-themes

In the future, it might be possible to add a new darker theme, though I fear that there would be too many built-in themes.

A related feature is that it should have a UI for creating custom themes. This will probably be added at some point but it's less of a priority at the moment.
