There's a lot of precedence for light | dark | black anywhere from the proprietary like Twitter's web UI, to F-Droid's "Use pure black" checkbox, to other GPL Android XMPP clients like monocles chat.

As a user of OLED devices (smart phone (Super AMOLED), laptop (OLED), external monitor (QD-OLED)), I much prefer a #000 black theme 99% of the time because it's crisper/doesn't look muddied. It can also save a small-but-not-discountable amount of energy on these devices compared to a non-#000 dark theme (better for battery, better for the planet). Also such themes with their higher contrast really let me dial back the display brightness further increasing energy efficiency without sacrificing legibility. There's a lot of precedence for `light | dark | black` anywhere from the proprietary like Twitter's web UI, to F-Droid's "Use pure black" checkbox, to other GPL Android XMPP clients like [monocles chat](https://codeberg.org/Arne/monocles_chat).

That would, indeed, be nice. As it requires a minor rewrite of the current theming "system", it's kind of low priority. But if someone want's to do it, I'll accept a PR.

Adding to would be a theme that is well supported for e-ink devices (though I don't know exactly what all that entails, I just know folks have problems from time to time).
