What would you like to see?

  • Currently there are light and default (dark) themes, which is awesome, but guess would be better if it could respect OS theme:

  • The "default" theme should probably be renamed to "dark"? I though "default" means it would follow system default, which doesn't seem like the case.

This is due to how we designed the app to be in dark mode first and add light after

However, it does already respect whatever the browser or system prefers (we do this in the desktop app also)

Not sure but I don't see it respect the light mode on my Fedora 43 GNOME wayland for some reason?
