Hi all,
I played few days around with the UI colours … and Yes it is a big mess to set up ( your) desired colour tones for user interface, to be visible ( contrast) and pleasant all around the UI … And when we take into account Michelangelos comment, that the style file name is changing from version to version … it is almost imposibile to edit and change all relevant colours …
My idea is for the developers to make a limited sets of UI colours, which have carefully selected colour values for UI element for each sets, and let they have a name : for example “green”, “orange”, “dark blue”, “red” sets … so the user simple can pick up one of them ( with possibility to edit by end user one-by-one …).
To have this sets, the easiest way is to create framework for editing UI colours ( as a tools inside of volumio, or as separate tools), and ask users of volumio to help to create tonally nice and balanced sets of colours, and upload them to “curators” who will choose a best ones …
