Describe the enhancement

i really want to love this theme, but the super warm colors, like orange and such, make me uncomfortable. i want to edit it so that it has a more neutral academia vibe. it's not too far from that, but way too warm.

hello! this has been in the longer big picture roadmap of primary! it will take a while since i plan on implementing some highly requested features first. also, i will be rolling out access to the colors bit by bit.

okay, thanks for the info. good to know it's planned.

I love this theme. Its my favourite so far but not being able to remove the brown from the dark mode is making me not want to use it. Surely that not a hard thing to add. Its almost perfect guys. Colour customisation is very important for most people.

I haven't been sure where to submit this, but it may be helpful for you. I too have been looking at making the theme less brown, since it really doesn't jive with my OS scheme (KDE Plasma with Breeze dark and the openSUSE color scheme). CSS snippets to the rescue!

I've put the following in a snippet, which makes most of the interface shades of a nice, neutral gray (foreground color is much lighter, but still fits):

.theme-dark {
    --color-d-gray-10: hsla(204, 7%, 85%, 1);  /* Foreground generally */
    --color-d-gray-20: hsla(204, 7%, 65%, 1);
    --color-d-gray-30: hsla(204, 7%, 52%, 1);
    --color-d-gray-40: hsla(204, 7%, 43%, 1);
    --color-d-gray-50: hsla(204, 7%, 30%, 1);
    --color-d-gray-60: hsla(204, 7%, 22%, 1);
    --color-d-gray-70: hsla(204, 7%, 16%, 1);
    --color-d-gray-80: hsla(204, 7%, 14%, 1);
    --color-d-gray-90: hsla(204, 7%, 12%, 1);
    --color-d-gray-100: hsla(204, 7%, 11%, 1);
    --color-d-gray-110: hsla(204, 7%, 10%, 1);
    --color-d-gray-120: hsla(204, 7%, 8%, 1);
    --color-d-gray-130: hsla(204, 7%, 6%, 1);
    --color-d-gray-140: hsla(204, 7%, 4%, 1);
}

I've left the other colors alone for now, as the shades of red, yellow, blue, etc. that primary uses all work quite well with the above. The only thing so far that I don't like is basic checkboxes, as the boxes themselves are too dark. But that'll be easy enough to fix with a little ctrl+f on the theme's CSS.

I hope this is useful for you!

@ceciliamay is this something an interested contributor could help with?

Ooh, this is really helpful, thank you! I actually do like the brown (but I also customized this for a writing vault and have insane old-school-y looking headers, too, so I'm not exactly staying within any kind of optimal UI design -- but I have migraines that sometimes do and sometimes don't want warm or cool colors and having a snippet I can just turn on and off is extremely helpful while we wait for other color schemes or a style setting for background :) I'm not terrible at CSS, but I'll admit that I do get overwhelmed when looking for what to grab from a theme.
