Redesign Light Theme
No one uses Light Theme because it's ugly. It is such an ugly theme compared to the standard, sleek dark theme. What's the point of even having a light theme if no one uses it? Even discord themselves make fun of the light theme. I would actually use a light theme if it wasn't so ugly. I prefer reading black on white. But no effort is put into the light theme because discord doesn't even seem to want people to use it.
Discord(and it's users) just see light theme as a joke and not as an actual interface preference for people to use. If you see light theme as a joke Discord, just remove it. What's the point of having it around if you meme about how bad and eye burning it is? I want light theme to be a real secondary choice to dark theme. At the moment, it's not a secondary choice because it's just objectively worse because it's an inverted version of Dark theme. Here's how it can be improved:
1. Don't make it an inverted version of dark theme. That just makes it look worse than the real dark theme because it's a lesser version of an already good theme. Give it an original color scheme.
2. Don't make the color scheme light gray to the point where it almost looks white. At the moment, due to it being an inverted dark theme, the "white" of the light theme is just light gray, since it is the inverted gray to dark theme's gray. Make it solid white instead with solid black text, it feels bland and muddy when it's just grayish tones.
3. Add darker colors in light theme to contrast the dark theme. Use darker grays, or even blacks on the side bars and icons. Otherwise, it just seems muddy and gross. There's no power to the light theme. There's no boldness.
Please Discord, I want to use a light theme, but I can't because you've made it so ugly. You and your own fanbase treat light theme as a complete joke and not a legitimate theme. Light theme is made fun of. Please redesign it.

Use the Dark Sidebar option under Appearance
I'm also disgruntled at how the community treats Light Theme and its users. It was the original theme when Discord released, after all.
