Hi All

I wanted to reach out and discuss the Cicada theme, which is a gorgeous dark mode of the stock theme.

I thought the screen brightness was more dim than usual, however, I am finding reading text a little harder unless I cut out more light in the room.

The change happened on package os-theme-cicada version 1.36, from 1.35 .

It feels like the brightness was affected globally, or like an alpha blending of 0.70 was applied against black as the background. I am not a huge fan of the graphics being all around darker, however, can we make the text a bright white, or at least like in 1.35?

Screenshots attached of BE edition (1.35) and CE 24.1.10_8 (1.36). Not shown, but a applies to CE 24.7.0_5 too.

Thanks
