I agree with @BrodieOnLinux@linuxrocks.online a lot here. I think a color scheme
solves a lot, but the color gradients etc. are still gone. What is your
favourite non-white light theme, best for Plasma 6? Please add a screenshot!
Just a friendly reminder that there’s accessibility problems with dark themes.
For me dark themes look like this because I have astigmatism:
Black on white doesn’t have this issue because all the white around it does is slightly blur into the black text and makes it a little grey at worst.
Any dark theme for a longer period of time also causes the white text to burn in my retina for a couple minutes, and I just see lines when I look away, and also makes reading a long article difficult and painful.
Dark themes look so much better, but keep in mind some people have very good reasons to prefer light themes. There’s no need for dark theme elitism.
The point of the video is that current default themes (particularly light themes) are too high contrast and too monochromatic. And in that scenario, a dark theme becomes a necessity because a high contrast dark theme is usually better received than a white one.

btw you can get glasses if you have astigmatism. certainly made my life easier.

Nobody watched the video lol, dark themes are an easy fix but not the best solution. But very interesting, thanks for sharing
