Revert to theme colours before v.26

Hello, the new colours in version 26 are dreadful. Is there any chance of choosing the legacy ones?

GUI

Do you just don't like these colors (e.g. because the color choice is ugly) or do you have so problems distinguishing the icons? Which icons - the toolbar icons, or the file icons?

Thank you for your reply. I am actually referring to the Show Changes window panels and the main file list showing modified/added/removed files. And yes it's not a matter of taste, they're not aiding readability at all.

What exactly is hard to read/distinguish for you?

Well, they're not strong and distinctive enough. For me this argument is very clear judging from how I felt when I first saw the changes. Again, it's really not a matter of preference.

What exactly is hard to distinguish for you which was easy before? Please show an example.

Note, there is already a related ticket: https://smartgit.userecho.com/communities/1/topics/1887-better-distinguishable-icons-for-untracked-and-added-states

I am sorry but I'm afraid I cannot state the issue more clearly. The colours and the difference among them makes things not user friendly. The fact there's already a ticket similar to this one, makes my argument even stronger.

I'd also like to chime in. The dark theme on my IPS panel display is too dark, on OLED or Retina displays it might look OK, but I'd much prefer the previous much lighter shades of gray.

What operating system you are using, what system theme (light/dark)? Do you mean the auto-light/dark theme in SmartGit or the forced dark theme?
