Not sure what the day version should look like

AMOLED variants would be great. I just installed the app yesterday and already wondered why only predefined styles are available. Having the ability to pick your own colors doesn't seem to be a uncommon feature on wallpaper apps.

@DatAres37 The wallpapers are all predefined files, always one file for light and one for dark mode. All shapes have a specific color to match the color scheme of the whole wallpaper. How do you want to set a color for every shape, set a name for every shape like "arc in the top left"? That would be a full-time job... There are sometimes more than 10 shapes per wallpaper, and every contrast and color tone is carefully selected. I think it would not result in beautiful wallpapers if the user would choose these colors by himself.

I'm not really a dev, so I can't tell for sure what the effort would be. But yeah, the idea would be to make the color variables rewritable in some kind of menu. If the result is ugly, that's the users fault really. Maybe some users like weird color combinations. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. 😉 They can always revert back to the defaults. Just an idea.
