There is no battle. That is the way it has always worked. Perhaps you don’t realize that users have been customizing their displays, like me, since 2016. Which is why I don’t bother with it when there is a churn of post major release updates. I wait until it has died down and I can enable the changes I want and not worry for many months.
Roon has always said, this is tinkering and if you are going to do this, you expect it to be replaced each and every update. And, it is not just being replaced. The actual file and what colors mean changes between every update. So, there is a lot of continuous work if you want to maintain it.
They said it back then MIke repeated it again when he created the Themes section.
