Let me be the N+1th to complain about the color scheme. Dark mode just isn't my thing... and whoever designed "textual-light" has drunk copious amounts of the low-contrast koolaid. I see some of the other suggestions in the thread, haven't tried them yet. I used it to bring in a series and comment on a patch. Nice but... there doesn't seem to be a way to comment on the changelog? That's an important part of the patch as a whole and I, at least, often have things to say there. Having descended onto a 30-part Mauro marathon, I can't a way to get back to the main screen showing all of the tracked patches...? "q" just drops me out entirely. When can we have it as an Emacs mode? :) Thanks for all of this, jon
