Light Theme Option

[irasponsible]

We all love a dark theme, and it's probably the one I'd personally keep using - but the choice of a Light theme is an important accessibility tool, and it's not something easy to implement on the browser end (compared to a plethora of force-dark-mode extensions such as DarkReader).

Users with astigmatism can experience more issues when trying to read light-on-dark text. There's no one-size-fits all accessibility solution, so giving users the option - even if it's just Light/Dark - is the best for the most people. This blog post - Dark mode & accessibility myth - Stephanie Walter - has links to further reading on the topic as well, so you're not just taking my word for it. I understand making a new theme and adding it to the user's preferences isn't quick nor easy, but it should probably go on the to-do list eventually.

I would probably use a light mode, I already do on discord. I dunno I just like it, but if they don't wanna have to make it look nice they can do something like what windows 7 does and have a "High contrast" mode that specifically just... Well, IS high contrast which is easier for people who need it. Doesn't necessarily look the best but it works.

I would probably also use a light mode. It seems to me to be easier to read black on white than vice versa, but not knowing what it would look like with the background I'm not sure. It would certainly be a nice feature though.
