Add a theme like the old one that's not as hard on the eyes
The new grey theme is incredibly hard on my eyes, although it's the most bearable out of all themes I don't know why it was just updated to be this dark but I can't deal with the super bright text on the really dark background. I need the grey to be slightly closer to the text colour to avoid eye strain. I cannot afford discord nitro for the custom themes, I can barely afford my medication as is. I'd just like a free theme that makes reading not as hard on the eyes like the old one please. I don't want to stop talking to my friends only because an app design update worsens my headaches :(
Edit: I already lowered contrast to the absolute minimum in accessibility settings and it's still too dark but also now some buttons are hard to read since it doesn't only adjust the background, and the little squares for the reacts are way too dark and saturated. I get that these settings are in BETA but man, making a theme like the old one wouldn't be a big task.

I'd like to add a softer, more eye-friendly theme, similar to the old one. Just like a well-chosen nail polish color enhances a manicure's appeal, a gentle theme can improve the overall user experience. https://salonbyevawestport.com/

Even with the lowest contrast option available, Discord's dark theme is too high contrast and gives people like myself frequent headaches and eyestrain. I had avoided updating Discord for a long time so I wouldn't have to deal with it, but it finally updated and my fears of eyestrain were confirmed, and are even worse than I thought.
I'm photosensitive and visually impaired in ways that mean high contrast dark themes leave long-lasting afterimages in my vision, impairing my ability to read, or even see at all. Low contrast options that offer something similar to the old theme would be an incredible option for those like us.
