The Thing with the Theme
tl;dr: can't decide on a theme and thus simply changed my color theme with some AI-help of all things.
This is another typical-me. Now that Magic-Pages allows for installing themes I am unable to decide on which one to pick. Themes that earlier looked like " yeah, this is the one " are now more in the " hmmm... nah, I'm not so sure about this " category.
Thus, no theme for me for the time being. I did though, what I always tend to do in cases like this, change the color theme of this blog.
And so it happened that I also got tired of looking for the "right"color-theme after tinkering with the usual (read: familiar) candidates like Atom One, Flexoki and Everforest and thought it would be nice to have a theme that would be working both in light and dark environments for a change. The obvious advantage would be that I only have to tinker with one colour-theme instead of a light and dark one.
A, let's call it a medium-/all-purpose-theme doesn't seem to be a thing and since I couldn't find one I referred to some AI-help and asked Gemini in this case. Suffice it to say, it quickly came up with a few color-themes, all of which, I have to admit, I liked. This had been in fact one of the first times I have been using Gemini for, well anything really, and am somewhat positively surprised about the result.
These are three of the four themes that had been suggested:
I did some further, albeit minor tweaking, mainly concerning the highlight-colours on my part, but that's about it.
In the beginning I felt a little unsure about this, but after a little while these variants have grown on me. I almost prefer the blue-ish one, though I had some issues with the images routinely clashing with the background-colour in an annoying way, so I choose the "greige" one. I tried to tone the images in a blue-ish-black and white, which worked rather well, but my css approach here wasn't really working across all devices. I might give this another try one day,
For the time being, that is until I have decided on a theme to install, this will do I guess.
