Hello! Thank you for creating Zrythm! 😄 I’m running GNOME in Nobara 40 and it’s awesome to have a GTK DAW that integrates with the system’s theme, however, since I’m using a [light theme](https://github.com/vinceliuice/Orchis-theme), it looks all weird:

In preferences you have the option to change the css theme and also the icon theme, it would be awesome to get a light theme eventually!

You’re not really supposed to change the theme Zrythm uses and Zrythm isn’t designed to integrate with the system theme because it depends on specific sizes for some widgets and changing those sizes via a custom theme breaks the UI like in your pic. Curious, how did you do this?

Light theme is difficult to support in v1 due to too many colors being hardcoded. Version 2 (Qt version - in development) already supports a light theme and choosing an accent color, so please wait for that.
