Resistance is futile You know what amazes me about this discussion ?
The one thing that I find amazing is that we have like 58 messages already , many of them complain about the dark theme and not one even bothered posting a single screenshot demonstration all these "problems" , just one . How hard it is to trigger a shortcut to capture an image so we who love the dark theme can see why some people find it hard to use. And this is why I feel lucky that the deed is done and this is no democracy.... very happy indeed :) On Thu, Apr 20, 2017 at 8:48 PM Ben Coman <[email protected]> wrote: > I see in 60467 that the deed is done.
