Another update regarding the 3.7.1 rebase from your local @gperson:
Unfortunately, I've decided that our light and dark themes will not be re-added during the initial rebase. I'm quite done dealing with upstream's theming system, which has only gotten...better, I guess?
Instead, they'll be added once the theme system rewrite is complete. That way, themes will be much easier to deal with.
And this build is now public! Visit https://codeberg.org/tenacityteam/tenacity/pulls/527 to try it out for yourself.

I'm making something for you and a lot of other people, that is, if I can figure out how to repurpose sounds. turns out, its harder to do with less sounds than I was hoping to have right off the bat.
