Dark mode looks sketchy.

Agree. We originally wanted to go with light mode, but the light mode template looked terrible. A redesign would be nice.

Dark mode is stylish and hip, no second opinion about that. Although it might not be as legible as light mode, dark mode interfaces posses a certain charisma that could be associated with boldness, formality, sophistication, mystery, strength, luxuriousness, etc. Simply put, all of these traits are quite appealing and desirable, especially when it comes to marketing. However, black is a particularly strong color that evokes strong emotions in people and could easily overpower an individual when it's overdone.

If you make light mode the default, then I will leave the project and never contribute ever ever again! There will be countless lawsuits coming because of all users will suffer bleeding eyes and irreversible blindness. This would be a * critical * bug introduced in Wasabi - unacceptable!
Paper is white, thus we use black inc to write on it.
Screen is black, thus we use white pixels to write on it.

@MaxHillebrand While I personally favor light mode to dark, this is irrelevant and not up for debate, as to make it in light mode is a strategic decision, which is necessary in the current regulatory environment. Similarly I favored the name "Hidden Wallet" to "Wasabi Wallet" but it was not up for debate either.
That being said, I think it is unlikely that we'll get there to redesign the wallet in light mode any time soon.

Doesn't look hard to do, Invert all colors but keep Green, Red and Yellow icons.

@Transisto you can edit it here .walletwasabi/client/Gui/Settings/GlobalSettings.json to "theme": "Visual Studio Light".
