Glad to see usability improvements here, but I won't be using it until there's a light theme (asking an application to respect the OS theme is apparently too much these days).
Also, as the OP pointed out, people somehow get angry when all you asked is for an app to follow the system's theme. It has been such a huge regression.
EDIT: typos and clarity
Was there a time when Podman Desktop supported a light mode? You could change the CSS yourself, which given you only need a light mode, would be pretty trivial.
Please keep in mind that dark themes were introduced as an accessibility feature as well, but not every project can or will prioritize it.
Wait, is this why I've stopped liking dark mode? I was diagnosed with astigmatism a few years ago. Never connected the two until now.
I find it physically unpleasant to look at during daylight hours, in a way I can't explain to my coworkers.
I also zoom in most websites, UIs, code editors and the terminal, so take my personal experience as just another point and nothing definitive.
I miss my white-on-black Terminal though :(
2023: We have no plans to have our UI not blind you past 8pm.
Once Apple started dictating UI fashion you'll take it as is or inverted. If you have different needs then go pound sand. After a decade or so they suddenly discovered dark modes are a thing.
The move to the web also took some pressure off because you can override colors in your browser ... Unless you have a per-app browser locked inside Electron or similar.
