How many themes we will have? Greay work by the way! |

@AdityaChaudhary0005 I closed the Repo for the Mars theme because it looks too different on different devices. I imagine there would be a dozen or so themes covering the scope of user preferences and a few playful ones. Another playful one I think users are looking for is Matrix. I've literally seen dozens of requests for it. Beyond this one I won't be adding more as to leave room for others to add. Most devices have light mode, dark mode and reader mode at least. Studies have shown most people's favorite colors are blue, red, purple/pink, and green. It's also been shown that Blues on white result in the most user retention, hence why Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin (and even Git) default to white/blue. A whopping 70% of Kindle readers use Antique/Reader mode. As for # of themes, I think we should at LEAST cover all common need basis:
Might be worth a CIP to discuss.

Maybe rather then adding more themes - submit a CIP proposal for the themes we need ? Get that agreed - then can just put tasks on the kanban for each one still required? |
People want to contribute to open source project, can't blame them for that. There are only 4 themes at Bitclout now, some open source projects have over 100! |
|
I'm open to using CIPs for themes. However, I didn't want to burden CIPs as they're technically a small change. But I will CIP if they should be CIP'd LOL! |
|
@brootle which open source project has 100 themes? 😅 I am not counting extensions (ex VS Code) |
So VS Code used by 90% of developer can have 100+ themes, but Bitclout can't? Have you heard about ATOM? It already has over 3,000 themes, go check it out https://atom.io/themes I made a theme not because I want to win some monies, but because I want other devs like me to save their eyes and have something similar to Visual Studio Code default dark theme. I am pretty sure Visual Studio Code devs spent hours on research to make perfect color balance, Bitclout users deserve the best too! |
|
@brootle i just think this decision / discussion is better placed here: @teambrixmusic I think getting clarity on this as an example would be good. Right now i dont think it falls under small change - but @lazynina or @maebeam might think otherwise. So probably best to continue in deso-protocol/dips#44 |

I would say whatever Themes were suggested before now, must be reviewed and merged or rejected. And after that Bitlout devs can make some announcement regarding new themes PR. Do we have high contrast dark theme? Yes. Do we have low contrast dark them? No. That's this simple. |
And non-open source too: blogger, shopify, wix, you name it. Nodes are going to style themselves anyway. |

Will resolve conflicts after modals are fixed. |
📖 Book Theme is an eReader style alternative light theme that's inspired by Kindle and Opera reader mode designed to reduce eye strain without the "wired" effect of dark mode or blue light. The antique and sepia tones also help remedy glare and screen contrast in natural daylight and strong backlight. Book Theme might be nice when accessing Bitclout on tablet devices, iPads, etc.
