More light themes

Marc van Breemen·9 months ago

There are many dark themes available, but only a few light themes.

I have sight problems, which means I’m sensitive for low contrast text (= all light themes) and can’t stand dark themes.

So my simple request is to offer more light themes with better contrast.

NB: I’m not really interested in building themes myself.

Great suggestion. Do you have any favorites from VS Code or others that I could port over?

All the ones with high contrast, like “Light Modern“.

For my eyes the contrast is very important. The colors should be dark and thus not too light, as it now is in the available light themes.

Also the color of the UI font should preferably be full black, and not gray-ish.

I hope, you can offer/implement this.

In the high contrast theme there are still UI elements that don’t have high contract, like the request list. Preferably all grayish text should be black. And one other example: the colors for HTTP method could have more contract like in the response body.

I’ve improved the contrast in the default light theme (maybe not enough for you still) and also added high contrast dark and light themes.
