Why can't apps properly separate interface from implementation and let people make the app look however they want? Maybe I don't want dark mode or light mode.

Why can't apps properly separate interface from implementation and let people make the app look however they want? Maybe I don't want dark mode or light mode. Maybe I want the background bright orange and the text florescent green. I'm the one using your app on my device, it should look the way I want.
Seriously, why isn't choosing the text and background color of apps and websites a standard, simple thing?
- zambal 7y agoBecause just providing config options for text and background wouldn't be enough. Most apps use more colors than just background/foreground, meaning those other colors should be configurable as well. Allowing users to configure all colors, would be in conflict with apps that use colors as part of some brand identity and for apps where this wouldn't be an issue, I guess most developers decide providing complete customization of colors is not worth the extra development time.
