While working with Slack, I modified the existing Fermyon slack themes to create a different look.
The light mode uses most of Fermyon's lavenders and plums, while the dark mode uses Fermyon's blues and greens. All of these colors are from Fermyon's core brand colors.
Light mode (#ECE5EE,#34E8BD,#525776,#ECE5EE,#D3C3D9,#0D203F,#34E8BD,#EF946C,#D3C3D9,#0D203F):
Dark mode (#0D203F,#34E8BD,#0D203F,#34E8BD,#0A455A,#BEA7E5,#34E8BD,#EF946C,#0D203F,#BEA7E5):
The dark mode is a very slight deviation from the existing dark mode theme, changing only the "hover item BG" and the "active item". IMO I felt like the seagreen active text stands out enough on its own to differentiate from the rest of the text, and darkolive tied in better against seagreen/oxfordblue than the (very) dark cyan.
The light mode is a bigger departure from the current light mode, as it uses more lavenders and plums in replacement of lightgrey. it also uses plum/lightlavender (matching the background) as opposed to the oxfordblue/seagreen active item.
What do you think of these color themes? Should the dark mode replace the existing dark mode, or should I add it as an additional option? As for the light mode, should we provide it as a separate light mode option, or replace the existing one as well?
IMHO, we should replace the existing dark mode theme (since the two are so closely related), but add the new light mode theme as an alternative option for users. Some people may prefer grey over plum. However, this means we need to come up with theme names :)
