> Purple becomes a fuzzy chromatic aberration on some glasses! 🧐😢

I don’t understand what you mean, it looks perfectly fine to me:

Sorry, that was just a pun. I do have slight issues with chromatic aberrations as well in certain conditions, but I don’t have any with the purple choice on the new meta branded theme.

I also like the background hue in both dark and light theme.

I’m not a fan of the fully rounded buttons. It’s okay-ish for wide buttons, but the fully round buttons

Can explain why tho. Perhaps it gives me a smartphone vibe 🤷  
Perhaps I just have to get used to it, but I usually don’t pick the meta branded theme, I like being on default.

Anyway, happy to see all these changes. While everything can’t please everyone, changes must go through many iterations to get closer to perfection after all 😄.  
And I also like the new [discourse.org](http://discourse.org) theme, by the way. Keep up the good work! 🤗
