I'd love an explanation for why colored backgrounds were removed from direct messages. it made dms feel personal and vibrant since they used the main theme color from the blog you were messaging, and the new layout feels so cold and boring. Also, why is the avatar not a link to the blog from the messages menu? It seems like a step backwards to remove functionality like that.
Like clicking/touching here just opens the messages, it doesn't navigate to the blog anymore.
Basically, why make the app uglier and harder to use?
Answer: Hey there, @slimereveler!
First things first. The blog name at the top of a conversation takes you to the blog, starting with version 30.7 of the apps. If it isn’t live just yet it is definitely being addressed, and it won’t be long until it is.
For user-defined backgrounds, they were, in many cases, inaccessible with very low contrast. It’s a long-term problem that we have, and fully intend to address, and hopefully in a way that still gives users choice in customizing their spaces. But without potentially making the site unusable, of course! So, while we appreciate that many users enjoyed the colored backgrounds, we also have a duty to the community to make the messages readable.
In a nutshell—we have to support 12 different color palettes. Adding blog colors will add too much variance, and it will be very hard to manage the combination of these palettes and blog colors and maintain good accessibility.
Thank you for your question—it was important to address, and we are grateful you raised it with us.
Best,
—Paul and Maxime

on the topic of kirby merch, i thought it might be neat to share what i believe is the coolest piece of official merch i own: this is a tiny little dark matter swordsman figurine that i got for about 600 yen at a store in japan! i was absolutely amazed to see official merch (and clearly OLD merch too!) of a dark matter character. here he is on my bookshelf with my small collection of (non-plushie) kirby merch :)
