Create new themes optimised for OLED displays and visually impaired users

[ZeroDot1]

Hello everyone,,
I have created a new theme for visually impaired people and at the same time compatible with OLED screens. I hope this will help to improve the usability of the program for visually impaired people (I am visually impaired myself).

Wow, that's an amazing idea!

What about expanding it a little further?
Following your idea, I'd now like to provide two new themes for visually impaired people directly inside the application.

Could you create one dark palette & one light palette especially designed for visually impaired people?
Such palettes don't have to follow the original colour scheme, use what's really best for this user group.

It's fine if you just create two TOML files, I'll add the themes to the app myself.

Maybe create something ideal for colour-blind people?

Hi @GyulyVGC, thank you, I have added a bright theme, it contains the exat negative colors, which works just as well for people with visual impairment. I have adjusted the orange and blue in both themes so that the colors are not blinding. This is especially important for people with a cataract. #709

Thank you again @ZeroDot1

If you have any suggestions on how to name them, let me know.
I'll display their names in the application themes page.
I'd like to name them in a way such that it's clear that these are thought for people with visual impairments.

In the end I've simply called them OLED, and they're now featured in-app!

Hi @GyulyVGC, thank you for adding the themes to the program. I recommend renaming the bright theme to paper or LCD, bright themes are often used with LED/LCD and color E Ink displays.

[GyulyVGC]

Mm, I understand. However, I'd like them to have the same name to follow the already existing themes. Any other ideas?

@GyulyVGC It is okay to stick with the naming, but I would include a note in the documentation.

OLED Themes for special displays and people with visual impairments.

OLED Theme Dark for people who need high contrast.
And for OLED displays to consume less power and protect the display.

OLED Theme Day For people with visual impairments who need less contrast but at the same time less bright colors.
OLED Day is particularly suitable for LED LCD and color E Ink displays.
