While it looks very powerful, does anyone know if the miserable light gray on medium gray UI can be changed? I despise this modern trend (Pixelmator drives me nuts too) as I have difficulty reading text with such low contrast. This is terribly unfriendly to people with vision difficulties.

I believe the neutral grey helps to shift the focus away from the UI to your art piece.

That kind of justification seems completely reasonable when you're looking at different screenshots to decide which UI theme looks better, but turns out to be completely counterproductive when you actually try to use the product.

Oh god, I love that russian accent in their demo-movie... I don't know why, it's just so... adorable...

The linked page has a video on showing off the new features with the worst choice of music I think I've ever come across - it's like a dirge. I had to mute it; and usually I listen to anything.

Imagine an old, barrel-chested, brusque Frenchman smoking galoise at a roadside café; "merde" he says under his breath ... then they used that as a sample, and inspiration, and created a piece of music from it ...

The default is white on dark gray...

Flabbergasting. Krita's development started almost 20 years ago... and it is the first time I ever hear about it.

Here's a list of every release we ever made: https://krita.org/en/krita-releases-overview/
