Good point, this should be duplicated into an old theme file.
Could the old theme be named "Libreddit"? Or should uses of "Reddit" be avoided everywhere?
Also on the topic of the neon red being disorienting, what do you think of #c2002c
for dark and #a30026
for light/black?

i guess we doing red ui now
Imo the new red is far too strong on things like the sorting buttons. Also, a new favicon.ico needs to be made so the new logo appears on the tab for the site.
What if the accent color was configurable?

I like the idea of setting these as the default options, then adding light/dark mode accent configuration.

@Trit34 it was a reply to my comment above: https://github.com/redlib-org/redlib/issues/282#issuecomment-2396726175
@ButteredCats I've got a PR for that (#281) but I think I'll put it on hold until a better default red is decided on.
The red on black (and black on red) is completely unreadable to me, I had to change the theme. It passes WCAG 2 AA standards, but fails on AAA and APCA: https://www.myndex.com/APCA/?BG=161616&TXT=ff0000&DEV=G4g&BUF=A22 (the results is "SPOT & NON TEXT ONLY" with a minimum 84px font size.

Hm, looks like red and black simply innately don't contrast well
How does #ff6666
look?

It's hard to tell what red would work best, since a colour that looks fine on a monitor can look too muted on a phone, while a colour that looks bright on a phone can be blinding on a monitor
I also noticed that #ff6666
is quite similar to the NSFW tag colour (#ff5c5d
), so I looked back at darker reds again
Personally I think #cc3344
is a fair compromise, although it should be noted that any darker red fails abysmally at all the contrast tests

Describe the feature you would like to be implemented
In older versions of redlib, most of the UI was white/aqua. The aqua parts are now a neon red, which users such as myself may find disorienting. This was merged in #280. It would be nice if the palette change was a setting instead, such that the old aqua UI is accessible again.
