What are you talking about? Where, in God's name, on my above comment I even hinted at that? All I am saying is if you go the trouble to create something that has different color scheme than your underlying operating system, then be smart enough to create settings to let users select their own colors.

You either create your app with default coloring and you let the operating system set your colors according to the user's theme preference OR add these in settings. I hate programmers who think their color preference should be the only one, and not just that, but also state it proudly with a "it doesn't burn your eyes".

Apparently you still beat a dead horse. Lemme make it clear for you, so there is no misunderstanding. I do not nor have said anywhere that I have disdain for people with disabilities.

Furthermore, coloring is an end-user business, not yours as programmer. Lemme explain this as well, since I am somehow under the assumption you are missing a full point of how modern operating systems works.

All modern operating systems have a window manager that is in charge of setting, among a lot other stuff, also the colors. They get those colors from the end-user current selected theme. If the end-user wants in his theme a memo to be red and a combobox to be black, then all the programs running on that end-user better have memos red and comboboxes black. Any one of those programs that do not let the operating system set their font, font color and background color of various components are breaking the end-user trust. And here is the amazing kicker! You, as a programmer, have to do absolutely nothing about it. All modern IDE's/compilers will do this by default.

Now, if you mess around and change that because you, as programmer, "know better" then you're a poor programmer. One way to redeem yourself is to let your users set the colors in your program under a Settings page.

Final thought. In regards to user with disabilities, they have different disabilities and different coloring needs. So this "cool kid" who thought dark mode is not burning their eyes, is the one disregarding them, not me.

This used to be the case from the nineties to the early two thousands, but theming was largely crippled in most environments by 2010.

This project is using a video game UI library, so this thread doesn't completely apply but here we are.

People like the above are full of nonsense.

I personally prefer dark mode, but it should absolutely be up to the user/OS whether a given app will run in light or dark mode.
