Separate the Editor from the Sidebar

This theme use contrast sparingly, which makes its application more effective. This method reduces visual noise while improving your ability to skim content efficiently. However, some design choices may not be to everyone's liking.

The separation of the editor and the sidebar, as well as the level of contrast, are frequently criticized. You can make this divide more visually distinct by customizing it. Simply copy and paste the following values into your user preferences. Feel free to customize the colors according on your needs. ☺️.
