What would you like to add or change?:

A light theme is good for readability during all day light hours. Classical toggle (dark/light/system).

Why do you and others need this?:

A dark theme is not good for eye saving if the environment is bright. To improve readability/accessibility and improve eye saving the best is to reduce the light contrast between the screen and the environment so a light theme would be a great improvement.

It really is needed for accessibility, I'd probably reinstall this if that was a thing. On new IPS monitor it's closer to be legible than cheap TN, but still not it. But really, I suggest for the developers to try out how the app looks like on a cheap TN monitor with bad contrast and colors, it ain't pretty...

Another reason is those with certain health conditions. As someone with astigmatism, l experience halation, eye strain, and eventually severe headaches if I look at a dark GUI long enough. I've struggled with this since the MS-DOS days in the '90s. I've read that those with dyslexia may also struggle with dark mode.

I can tolerate white text on grey or similar BG a bit better than on a darker BG, but I'd love to see a proper light mode on Portmaster, which I now consider a must-have
