Differentiating multiple accounts more easily
An interesting idea to make it easier to tell which account you currently have selected would be to have multiple app color schemes (I'd prefer a hue slider, but discrete color schemes could work too), on a per-account basis. This idea is based somewhat on what some *nix distributions do by default when logged in as root - you get a red-based color scheme instead of the default.

[x] I searched or browsed the repo’s other issues to ensure this is not a duplicate.
Another suggestion from @[email protected] (and by @[email protected], I didn't see that at first): "You could also suggest showing the icon of the account you are logged into in place of the burger menu."
Potentially both approaches make sense - I use the same avatar everywhere, so that wouldn't help for my alts, but for users that use different avatars, it's yet another visual cue that can help.
I like @bhtooefr proposition of seeing the avatar in place of the burger menu. Thought it raises the question of what to click when you want to view that account profile page? It now involves clicking on that particular avatar. That could create confusion.
I would absolutely love this as I use the avatar on my accounts to avoid confusing others, but there's like 4 of them. Also as the admin of witches.live I want a cute witch color like my instance, so I would really appreciate this feature!
Also to configure which account uses which theme (dark/light) might be useful.
Having more customization over accent colors (https://github.com/tuskyapp/Tusky/issues/4581) or themes (https://github.com/tuskyapp/Tusky/issues/2868) and being able to set them per account would be great for this. The avatar can't be always visible, and it can sometimes get lost if there's a lot of stuff on the screen. A color that's everywhere would be a much better reminder of which account you're using.
