Yeah - - that Prosilver minty is the other option, in your board preferences,

it was some time ago, that the theme colour was discussed,
& back when the board was updated
- most folks went for the previous default of . . Green . .

I honestly don't like either, & they do bother my eyes,
but I make due by going & placing some kind of Wallpaper in the Background
to help my Eyes a bit better.

My eyes don't adjust very well to weird off colors.

My eyes do much better in warm vivid colors, it's why I moved away from 4:3 Monitors, & moved twards 4K Displays to start with.
At night, on Windows I tend to add more Orange-ish Colors to my Display? & in the Day time, I tend to use the Full Brighter Colors more.

I have never liked the faded Colors & Low Toned Colors before. Never have.

I get a lot of Migraines from this, & those Migraines are a pain, & will get me utterly sick.
So anything I can do to avoid such issues, I will do to avoid those issues.

How did I survive the 80's & 90's over Color issues? Not very well. :(

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It's also why I can't use the Blue / Grey Theme here, the Mint Green Colors are better...
I just don't like the Blue / Grey Mix...

It would be nice if we could have a few Alternates in the Future, or just let us Change the Colors ourselves?
It is for our own Viewing after all, no one sees it, but us. What we do, does not effect anyone else here.
I Loved World = 80's & 90's
World Hates Me = 2016 to 2019
I Hate World = 2020 & ^
They want us to Suffer, then lets speed it up, just burn our Sanity away. Else, Shut It!
