[Edit] Per the comment below, the suggested feature is already possible via the custom theme creator (Appearance Settings > App Theme).

For anyone else looking to replicate Reddit's arrow colors, upvote on mobile is #ff4500, while downvote is #7193ff. Now that I'm trying it, I think I actually prefer the default due to the subtler contrast of the blue, but being able to change it is definitely a helpful option to have.

Something that I think has been missing from most Lemmy UIs is distinct upvote and downvote colors, versus the red upvotes and blue downvotes present on the standard Reddit interface.

Although I personally wouldn't feel the need to customize my upvote/downvote colors beyond that, given that others might want colors other than red and blue, I think implementing such a feature with an assortment of default colors customizable for each button would maximize its usefulness. Implementing it with a color wheel or a hex color input option would maximize options even further, though might not make for a very clean UI.

Thanks for implementing my prior suggestions! Have more suggestions on my list, but I'll keep to posting two at a time at most to let others have their share in suggesting ideas too. πŸ‘

You already can customize those colors via the Themes feature in the Custom Themes area. It's slightly more involved, but just duplicate the theme you like and then edit the colors you want to change.

Thanks for the heads up; so many great customization features, should have checked more thoroughly first! πŸ‘

No problem! I absolutely love how customizable Arctic is. I've managed to make a bunch of not-so-nice-to-look-at themes and one that I really like a lot. It's great for someone like me who is constantly fiddling with settings (it's part of the fun!).
