From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Tell that to my eyes when your application only has a blinding light mode. Theming is an accessibility feature and should be prioritized as such.

It's 2023. Every application should have a theme engine built-in. If not, that's on the dev. Let's not make a movement out of a lack of interest in providing support for accessibility.

Any recent application should respect the global org.freedesktop.appearance color-scheme setting. If it doesn't, you should blame the app developer.
