    I wish, light mode worked better in terminals. Every so often, it’ll throw some yellow text at me, and it’s just like, cool, I literally cannot read that.

      I wish light/dark mode switching would work in editors/IDEs at all. Kate/Kwrite apparently has that but it doesn’t work with Kvantum or i don’t understand the configuration enough. They should just have a “alternative editor theme” and switch to it on signal and be done. Light editor theme on dark desktop switch after 20 o clock burns my eyes.

        It does work, it’s just complicated to setup.

        In that picture, I’m using KDE applications that are flatpaks for Cosmic Desktop on PopOS with a Kvantum theme. I made a longer post here when I was searching for instructions for how to complete this recently.

        After my experience, I don’t really know what the best solution is for setting it up. I guess it would be nice if the major platform applications for like KDE were supported for dark mode by default on the DE. I don’t know, it really bothered me though.

        Hmm, good idea.

        I’ve been using the “Black on White” theme in Konsole, because that’s the only real light theme it has, apart from Solarized.
        Well, and apparently for some reason it uses brighter colors for what should be intense colors. Just setting the yellow to a normal yellow already improves it quite a bit.

        I guess, my point still kind of stands, like why is there no better light theme included out of the box, but yeah, I should probably look into theming a bit more…
