Make Microsoft Edge your own with themes

These theme have been made with some effort and are not from chrome. After several days of trying I am not using theme because they did not change address bar and menu.

The idea of user creating themes easily without coding requirement appeals to me.

Can you please make it so that the custom image on new tab page that we upload ( not to be confused with custom theme ) is not darkened a bit like it currently is?

Can you provide light theme for inprivate mode like original edge did?

What appeals to me is the idea of using edge out of box with no customisation. It is not a looker anymore ever since chromium was adopted. I sometimes saved images when I came across edgeHtml version. Not here. That needs to be changed.

I digress but this is also a reason a native adblocker is needed that is switched on by default. Most chrome users probably don't use adblocker, so when they try edge they'll get a clutter free feel they don't get in chrome.

Finally, menus must be made shorter, more visual and approachable. Opera does it best among all browsers.

This is a great example, it would be great for starters, the person can pick a image they want and have a eye picker to pick the color.

This is something I consider very important. You talk of "personalizing" Edge with themes, but when the rubber actually hits the road, it's not really personalization, it's just using a design that someone else somewhere thought was a good idea. Not even a little bit personal, because I didn't design it, someone else did.

What you need to do is talk to the team that develop Microsoft Visual Studio, and take a look at the customization of that program. They got it right, you can modify every imaginable aspect of the UI, and they even developed an addon that allows the creation of fully customized themes.

One area that really needs user selection is in title bar colorization. Since I run with a deep blue title bar, the black text that Edge insists on using is completely unreadable. I need some way to set it to white, or better yet, use the solution that Samsung use on their smartphones for the status line at the top. They actually analyze the current background image, and automatically switch between white and black text to ensure the best possible contrast.

This problem, and the solution to it, were codified over four hundred years ago, simply read "The rule of Tincture" on Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rule_of_tincture for details. Yet modern designers seem to miss this outstandingly simple rule with absolutely amazing regularity. Samsung understand this. Microsoft apparently don't.
