An open letter to kengle

kengle please i beg of you stop changing the UI every single day the white theme blinds me stick to a theme for a month or get a decent theme like commiefarms has instead of this shit @Sailfish
Right now I have to fix the themes that have issues then I will go through and try to solve some of these issues.
 
I agree. Every web design tutorial I've ever seen since the mid 1990s warns against implementing a white background. White on a screen is way too glaring for the human eye.

The layout shouldn't be changed so often. People navigate a virtual spaces like a website the same way they navigate an IRL space: remembering visual clues around them. When the look of a website keeps changing all the time it's super confusing trying to navigate a site, even if it's a site they already know and everything is technically still in the same place. It's like they have to find their way around anew every time.

For me myself, I've already indicated that I don't want a light background and that I will select a dark background on any page where that's an option, so I shouldn't have to pick a new dark background every time. It's just unnecessary.

I agree on the white background. It might be a little easier on the eyes if it was some gray in it. But I want to get this current issue taken care of first. It's been going on way too long.

This. It feels like I'm always having to pick a new dark theme and always a worse one.

The layout changes are annoying too, but not nearly as much as the theme changes.
