Theming makes it really hard to update the software in any substantial way. Even the slightest change to the design could end up breaking themes, or being drawn as white text on white background, etc.
I think it’s natural that it was more common when auto-updating software wasn’t the norm.
- eloeffler 5y agoHm that's a good point. Some access to the theming would be nice though. Old themes were heavily based on tailored graphics that can really not be adapted easily. But the problem at hand (UI that's hard to read for the visually impaired) could be addressed with at least some access to the theming. That's something many programs still offer though.
- tobr 5y ago“Theming” for accessibility reasons is something I believe most systems support. Things like larger text size, high-contrast mode, etc.
