Description Nathan Upchurch 2022-06-01 23:55:56 UTC 
It would be great to have a light mode for the application dashboard. Light text on a dark background is actually quite difficult for me to see sometimes; I get haloing and double-vision unless the room is very bright. For this reason, I usually prefer light mode.

Make Dashboard follow colorscheme

Previously, all Dashboard colors were hardcoded. Instead, we now use the
Complementary color set, and give the user an option to switch to the
theme's Window default color set too.
