I really like the darker colors. But I don't think it's possible to change the styles of this particular instance, it would have to be implemented in
lemmy-ui
(and then be available to all lemmy instances).And note that capitalized text isn't particularly accessible. In fact, it is harder to read than regular text, because we have a lot more practice reading regular text than capitalized text.
Yeah admittedly my "sense" in design has a ways to go. After my exams I'm hoping to read "Don't let me think Twice", which is apparently a really good book for UI design. Hopefully maybe i can bring in some of the good concepts from there to Lemmy too
In the UK, a design committee found that they shouldn't use all-caps on road signage (the norm at the time) because it couldn't be read at a glance
They also designed their own font, you might have seen it:
I appreciate the example and am happy to admit this is a bad design decision regarding accessibility
As a means of preventing any of these decisions from reaching end-users, I'll make sure to participate in GitHub discussions before making any PRs
Thank you for the feedback
