Feature description

The only change would be the color of the components. The overall functionality of the project would remain the same.

Why do you want this feature?

My favorite color is blue, and there were no blue themes. Also, I want to start contributing to open source projects and this seems like a good opportunity.

tbh that white text with bright cyan-blue background is unreadable, i prefer black text with white background, changing just the accent color to blue

[CharleeBrown]

@MDP43140 How's this?

[MDP43140]

maybe its a bit better to reduce the cyan saturation a little bit, and also the "Trending", "NewPipe Debug", title color should be white

I don't think a new theme should be added to newpipe. Usually apps only provide light, dark and black themes. As per other themes:

• they would be used by only really few people
• they require maintenance effort
• they can possibly create more situations to handle in the code, hence more bugs
• if we start adding one colorful theme, why not adding more? People will start making requests, but we can't have tens of themes in NewPipe.

It's great that you want to start contributing to NewPipe! However I would not begin with this task because of the complexity of building a theme in Android. You may look at other tasks flagged as good-first-issue, instead.

@Stypox Fair points. I'll look into the good-first-issues!

Actually, using that experience could be used to implement Material You. Material you adapts the colours of the ui to the favourite colours of the user and avoids problems like unreadable colour combinations while every user has its own favourite colour. We don't need to reinvent the wheel, Material You was introduced to solve exactly this kind of problems. Use adaptivity instead of making decisions for the end user.
