    I think perfection is probably somewhere between dark and light themes. Light can frequently be too bright where it feels like you’re looking into the sun. And dark can be like working in literally the dark, and it’s sometimes too difficult to see the boundaries between objects. I think it would be cool if we had a sliding scale, where you can pick from several brightness levels.

      Problem is that contrast is not a thing for the “middle” levels.
      So, for a white or light gray background, you can have black as contrast color. And for a dark gray or black background, you can have white as contrast color.
      But for middle gray, both white and black don’t really provide enough contrast.

      A slider to at least choose between white, light gray, dark gray and black would still be cool, though.

      It’s the same as Color balancing. The best solution often depends on the light balance of the room. Nothing stopping you from editing the theme to keep optimize out
