Customizable colors [not on roadmap]

@Edward12 – I can’t tell if you are trolling or if you are being dense.

  1. you want user-selectable colors. I said no.
  2. @G997 wants more theme choices. I explained that its quite a bit of effort to add them, and generally not something we consider worth the effort.
  3. @Geoff_Coupe else wants high contrast theme for the visually impaired. It turns out to be a well-defined idea (see WCAG), and making a new theme at AAA 7:1, or even our current themes AA 4.5:1 would be a good step towards achieving the accessibility standards of “high contrast”. I stated that this seems like something worth putting effort into, and I put it on the list of things to discuss/research.

You are asking for apples, @G997 asked for oranges, and @Geoff_Coupe asked for a wheelchair.

7:1 themes are pretty much black on white or white on black, or close to it… not so hard to build or maintain.

4.5:1 gives us some flexibility and we could just modify the current themes easily to be 4.5:1.
