Thank you for this wonderful app. I just have one small request.
The rainbow background of the vikunja icon in the top-left corner is a bit distracting for me.
I want to make it clear that I have no intention of criticizing or rejecting the rainbow. I simply think it would be helpful to have an option in the settings to change or disable it.
It stands out even more than labels like “Urgent,” and it makes it harder for me to stay focused and calm while using the app.
Thank you for your consideration.

I believe that protecting LGBTQ individuals is connected to respecting our individuality. Therefore, I have absolutely no intention of denying LGBTQ people. For me, the issue arises when performing mentally taxing tasks like organizing tasks — overly colorful visuals can be overwhelming. If the LGBTQ symbols were in monotone or harmonized with the overall theme of Vikunja, I probably wouldn’t mind as much.

Having reviewed the related section, I felt that the core issue for me is that it’s tiring unless the color scheme is subdued. It appeared to be a separate matter from the LGBTQ issue, which is why I submitted the request.

As someone who suffers from visual hypersensitivity, I might not seem like the best person to talk about political philosophy — but Isaiah Berlin once said there are two kinds of liberty: negative liberty and positive liberty.
Isn’t negative liberty more central to the philosophy of open-source software?
I get the sense that Vikunja’s design philosophy also honors this kind of freedom.
