[Feature] Themes as a long-term UI design solution

Open SchaffRita opened this issue 2 years ago • 2 comments

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Currently, the application is using material design principles; it could be a UI kit that is enhanced with some extra images, and developments. I personally really like it, there are a couple of parts that should be adjusted to make it more coherent. As I checked the lab version of the new design (Material You - Material Design 3), I found that I don't really like the new design.

A standard material design should not be discarded because it is appealing to a large audience. At the same time, there are those who may prefer other, quirkier game-like designs.

Describe the solution you'd like A long-term solution could be making the application themeable. Meaning that the app could come with the basic (current) UI design and other themes would be available to turn on/off. This would give an extra edge over similar applications as well.

Still, if if it is feasible, it is a lot of work. So there comes my other idea to make this work: this is something that could give you more income. New skins/themes could be offered for a one-time fee (by theme). The ones who bought the app do not mind spending a little on this, and I personally would not mind paying a little extra for a UI I like. It does not take away any useful features from the existing users either.

Describe alternatives you've considered I can help you with the next design.

Hello Rita, Sorry for not replying for a long time.

In this regard, the diverse theme is indeed an interesting feature point.

But on a technical level, we currently don't know how to implement this UI switching logic.

Beyond that, we're still adapting Material 3 features. This could be a big project.

So this point may need to be discussed for a long time.

Indeed, the current solution is really nice, I like how colors can be changed.
