It would be nice to have a dark theme so Actual isn’t so bright at night.

A quick lo-fi solution is to implement some custom CSS in the browser.

html {
   filter: invert() contrast(0.8) brightness(1.1) hue-rotate(0.5turn);
}

If you add hue-rotate(0.5turn) in there it will do its best to render the colors correctly.

Actually, it looks very nice with extension Dark Reader. Maybe you could "steal" some color choices from it.
