   Should we make Light Theme the default one in AndStatus? I mean, new users usually expect light theme in applications nowadays and the first impression from "AndStatus Light" will be better? :-)

     @gryps I'm with you on this. But it seems to me that overwhelming majority of new users expect white theme?!

     @heluecht AndStatus v.25.04 is released already http://andstatus.org/changelog.html
     But next release will have Light Theme and rounded avatars by default in order to look like most of the others Android applications. Dark theme will be a pleasant bonus :-)

     @sim "Look like" doesn't mean to be the same. This is just for convenience of new users.
     Anybody else is free to change default settings as they wish.
     
     And I don't think being "black" would be interesting "differentiating feature" of AndStatus?!

     @sim This is an interesting and a long topic... and users generally prefer applications, which have similar style, visual elements and which behave similary i.e. which are predictable for the users.
     And I like that e.g. Google promotes its "Material design" that is not only about colors and icons, but about application behavior also. No matter if this is a dialer, photo editor or a social network client: it should be familiar to a User right after the first launch...
     ?!

     @sim I'm asking users what they like/prefer/think needs improvement all these years :-) Hundreds of posts here and hundreds of requests at https://github.com/andstatus/andstatus/issues?q=is%3Aissue+sort%3Aupdated-desc
     People can adjust, but mostly don't want to adjust for one application...
