Read an interesting highlighted article and thought it might be something that need discussing:

- [The end of the nice GTK button](https://blog.brixit.nl/the-end-of-the-nice-gtk-button/), published 24 Mar 2022 on BrixIT Blog.

It ties into something that has popped up a couple time before but hasn’t really been discussed.

There is a set of [color preferences](https://gramps-project.org/wiki/index.php/Gramps_5.1_Wiki_Manual_-_Settings#Colors) (light & dark) than need a bit more guidance.

- A discussion about appropriating some of the colors for use in highlighting dialogs that works for light & dark Themes.
- Theme design information so that some UI/UX designers could start volunteering more effectively. (And maybe get us past the criticisms about the GUI not being pretty without coders having to dip into something they hate doing.)
