Hello, One thing I find lacking in Bear is the ability to customize colors… It would be really cool to have a “custom” theme included in the themes that allows us to modify the colors directly with hexadecimal. Also, **being able to customize our own colors for H1 to H6** titles would be greatly appreciated as sometimes the notes are hard to read 🙂 Thanks to the dev team and long life to Bear ! ---

This has definitely been asked for already. Looking forward to when they do release it. ---

I literally just signed up to create this feedback. I love the OLED black . . . But don’t love the Yellow it comes with. ---

I have the same issue — existing themes are too high contrast and too bright for me, so I ended up making [my own theme](https://sapegin.me/squirrelsong/). The only annoying thing is that I need to modify the files inside the Bear package after every update, and it only works for a Mac. Feel free to try it, [here are the instructions](https://github.com/sapegin/squirrelsong/tree/master/light/Bear#readme). ---

I do want this, but I would like it to be more streamline and user friendly, guided by the app itself. For example, in Obsidian, it’s a hassle to change your theme. You change it, go back and change it again-- keep tweaking until you like it. But then you realized you changed the body font instead of the headers… and back you go to change it. I like Bear’s current play on themes. Just click and it changes it for you. Maybe add options as a dropdown to different header colors and let you choose from those, similar to how easy it is to change themes
