[FR]: Support theme-color meta tag for adaptive browser UI #725
Description
Description
Add support for the theme-color meta tag so the browser's toolbar/address bar adapts to match the website's specified color, similar to Safari, Arc, and Dia.
Who's implementing?
- I'm willing to implement this feature myself
The problem
Coming from Dia, I really miss how the browser's UI would adapt its color to match websites that specify a theme-color. It makes the whole browsing experience feel more cohesive and polished. Right now in Helium, the toolbar stays the same color regardless of what site I'm on, which feels like a step back.
Safari has supported this feature for a while, and browsers like Arc and Dia have implemented it really well on desktop. It's a subtle thing but once you're used to it, you notice when it's missing.
Possible solutions
Implement support for the standard tag. When a website specifies this, the browser's toolbar/address bar could adapt to that color (or a slightly modified version for readability).
Could be:
- Always on by default (like Safari)
- Toggle-able in settings if some users don't want it
- With some sensible constraints (minimum contrast for readability, etc.)
