(I am atrocious at naming)

So, I've been thinking...I have poor vision, the text blurs into the Night theme and the Day theme is far too bright, albeit, it is far easier to make out text in chat. I use the Desert theme on my side and prefer to have different themes for my two accounts to easily differentiate the two at a glance (I otherwise don't always think to check, especially when I am sleep deprived).

So, I propose that we could have an 'Umber' theme, for the lack of a nicer name; umber, with (slightly) lighter browns as the accent colour/s with white or light brown text. This way, Lioden would become more accessible for people like myself - easy on the eyes, but with enough contrast to read text/other details with relative ease. I know it would be tricky to make aesthetically pleasing, but it is the best I can think of that 1. wouldn't look extremely out of place on Lioden and 2. improves accessibility.

I wholeheartedly appreciate any suggestions, alterations, and alternative ideas to improve upon this suggestion.



This suggestion has 121 supports and 2 NO supports.

My eyesight is also very poor, but I can still see the text. We could try making the text bolder?

@Six - possibly! Personally, I feel the above suggestion kills two birds with two stones - easy on the eyes, and with enough contrast to make out text with (relative) ease, something that I find difficult due to the relatively similar colours and size. I'd definitely be open to bold text as an option, though, especially if it's toggleable!

Definitely support. The day theme is easy on my eyes if I keep my brightness low, but the night theme makes it a bit hard for me to see text as well.

Hey, I'm always interested in new site themes! And for the purpose of accessibility, too. Could someone with design skills maybe set up a color palette/example so we could see if it would solve the problem?
