Designers out there: I am looking for a deep review & suggestions of Amethyst's colors in light mode.

The gray shades seem to be getting old and the background color for new posts feels ugly. Padding/border suggestions are also very welcome.

Only psychopaths use white mode!

Wen #onlyzaps mode?

Hey!, we're not all psychopaths some of us have to work in the daylight. 😄

Light? As.. light instead of dark?? Nooooooo...!

Then I guess I'm a psychopath because light mode is a much better reading experience everywhere.

My suggestion is to get rid of the shading and make it white as well, then make the border darker but also thinner if possible. It's very appeasing and provides a great reading experience in the other bird app.

This recommendation is mainly for notes embedded in other notes using the quote feature. I don't think new posts need to be highlighted in the app personally. If you want to still keep that feature maybe make the post dividers purple like the color of the "post"button when making a note.

Also asking for some interface improvements to improve scrolling smoothness.

Most of my work in the past 4 weeks has been performance improvements. It's not easy.

I appreciate it, this wasn't a complaint just a hope. You have the best client on Android and I want it to succeed.

I noticed, that Amethyst only works via WiFi but not on my mobile connection. Is that intentional?

It should work on both.

Nope.. sadly definitely not working 🤷

I'm on Android 11, Oneplus 7pro.

What do you see?

If I'm on Wifi, the Relais-Icon shows 4/4 and everything works great

..but as soon as I switch to LTE, it changes to 0/0 and there is no nostr-connectivity anymore 😢

I would probably test a purple color sheet of 5 different shades. Make the second lightest the background color, the second darkest the primary color for buttons and such, the lightest for background of larger areas with text, and the darkest for text color and highlights.

TIL there is a light mode for amethyst

Can we also get a Material Theme icon for us dark mode people? 🙏

What does that mean?

Oh... Material You, not Material theme.

Nice! Put up a bounty. It would be great to get a new dev on this.

I'll try working on this weekend. Seems simple enough. 🫡

Got it working. Just need to readjust the dimensions a bit.

好长时间软件没有更新了

Wait.... There's light mode? lol

I like the light mode as is.

Just remove light mode, it's a bug...
