## Configuration for the new interface

1. Set it from on to auto as [darkman](https://gitlab.com/WhyNotHugo/darkman/)
   handles
   [that](https://gitea.blesmrt.net/mikaela/shell-things/src/branch/master/local/share).
1. See all options
1. Colors

- Background: `#000000` ("AMOLED Black")
- Text: `#ffb700` ("Amber")

1. Font and more

- Change font: yes
- Font name: Depends on the circumstances. Are you worried about I and l and
  whatever else looking the same? Serif. Legibility especially with reading
  difficulties? Sans-Serif. While system-ui generally maps to Sans Serif, I
  just get annoyed by other fonts.
  - `ui-serif, system-ui`
  - `ui-sans-serif, system-ui`

In _Settings_ there is additionally _Detect dark theme_ option.
