"arc-green" does not clarify it is a dark theme #431

Closed
opened 2021年04月29日 13:32:04 +02:00 by mehrad · 3 comments

I'm opening this issue/suggestion as per suggestion of a Mastodon toot of Codeberg account.

The problem is that the phrase "arch-green" does not tell the user that this is a dark theme. All it says is that this has something to do with green color (which now that I have switched to it has literally no green color in it as can be seen in the image below). I propose to change the name to "Dark" or at least to "arc-green (Dark)".

As seen in the milestone Theme diversity it is planned to support way more themes then currently. So why not add two sections in the dropdown - one for white themes and one for dark themes. This way it is clear what kind of theme it is without needing to change its name

We have codeberg-dark now, which is in a similar spirit. Also, I think that the term "arc" is quite common for dark themes.

Thanks, the new "arc-green" is amazing. I love all these different shades of black and its combination with green. I still believe the name does not do justis and I would rather see a D in the beining (i.e "Darc-green" or "DarK-green"). Also the codeberg-dark has too much bright blue for my eyes, I rather stick to this new slick look of arc-green.

Anyways, thanks for the comment and info.
