I would like to purchase a premium subscription, but it appears something that has been asked for repeatedly is still unavailable.
I will consider a purchase worth it if and only if a native dark theme for the forecast panel, and for other Windy UI elements for web and mobile that currently have a white background, is made available. It is 2024 and I expect developers not to ask me to hurt my eyes.
Thank you.
@Suty False. No, it doesn't; and this is still the reason you don't get a subscription from me. Blue is as blue on a black background as it is on a white background. If you want to actually introduce color theory and talk about the difference in value between blue and black, then you already know there are perceptual spectra you can drop in as replacements for the ones you're using.
This is a solved problem and you're telling me it's not.
I'm just going to bump this. It's less than a day of work for a single UI developer; it's one point in your planning poker; it's something I could and would happily do for you if your project were open source.
But I guess I have to beg you to want to take my money, instead.

@Suty The fact Windy hasn't implemented its own dark theme for these UI elements is why I still hesitate to subscribe to premium. Reading the forecast panel with its bright white background on web or in the mobile app hurts my eyes, and applying any third-party color filter extensions (e.g., Dark Reader) makes layered elements look awful like the above.
The only solution is not to rely on the operating system or an extension, but to design a native dark theme for all of your own UI elements as a companion to your default theme, then let the user choose inside your app. I will go premium when you do that. Until then I must keep looking for something that is not a step backward.
