Show HN: I'm open sourcing Harmonic, the Android Hacker News client

Awesome work! Just discovered this client and instantly fell in love with it! Used it for a couple of minutes and thought "hey, it would be cool to be able to click on the story to get to the comments." Guess what, there is an option for that. <3 Also really like the "Jump to the next top-comment" option. Always missed this from reddit.

One question though. Is it possible to change the accent color when using the Material You (light) theme?

Glad you like it and thanks! There's been many feature requests over the years of that nature so I am glad they address the same pain points of multiple people.

As can be found in/values/themes.xml line 119, the accent color is one of the automatically extracted material you colors. Therefore you could change your wallpaper to change the color but I haven't got any plans to change the material you color used. However I don't use light mode and perhaps it is bad - in that case a change may perhaps be in order.

Thank you for your answer. I uploaded a screenshot to Imgur of what it looks like on my screen [0].

Unfortunately I am running Android 9 and this automatically picking color feature doesn't seem to really work since my background is just black with a few blue dots. Not sure about that I am not really into the Android Game.

Oh I see, yeah on Android 9 you are getting a fallback color for when automatic theming is not available. I would recommend using the regular light theme as this has a green accent which I think is nicer on the eyes. I'll add a note to change to light material you fallback color because that does not look nice.
