Description
The new Element dark black theme ruins the readability of text for people with astigmatism. I am requesting to roll back the color change or to allow an option for the previous gray version, as it was easier to read text on.
#### What did you expect?
Element to be easy to read from.
#### What happened instead?
The black background makes the text harder to read for people with astigmatism.
