High contrast theme (E-Ink) #1061

[ x] I have read this document: https://miniflux.app/opinionated.html#feature-request

I am using miniflux in the browser of my ebook reader. Since it is so minimalist, it works great! But I would like to request a high contrast theme black (#000000) on white (#ffffff). This would make reading easier on an E-Ink screen. It might also be helpful for accessibility reasons.

I take from your FAQ that there is no possibility to add a custom theme and also, it might be usefull for others. If you want I can provide the theme, but the changes I would make are very minimal from the original theme, only changing the colors to full black and white.

Even better would be to have a dedicated E-Ink theme, like suggested in #228

Meanwhile, you can use the Custom CSS feature to change text color.

svemoe commented 3 years ago

Yes, but that does not apply on a per device basis.

On the other side, maybe we should not bloat the theme selection with more themes then are already present. But then it would be handy to have a possibility to load custom css themes that you can then select via the dropdown. The theme selection seems to be on a per device basis.

Technically there is a css media query for this: @media (monochrome), but I'm not sure if your ebook reader already understands this feature.

oldherl commented 2 years ago

Unfortuantely, no. My Firefox on Boox Note 2 (an Android e-ink device) doesn't recognize it as monochrome device.

Adding to the discussion: #000 background would be preferred on OLED displays.

Tangentially: there's also the prefers-contrast media query, but this generally comes from the OS as an accessibility feature for those with visual impairments (not a cue for e-readers or OLED).

A e-ink theme would be an amazing feature for PineNote users. Does someone have a WIP theme?
