(New) White theme
There are some people that do prefer a white theme, which is understandable. So here it is!
How to change to the white version
On the hamburger menu up at the top there is now an option to select the theme
Dark Theme
This is the default one. It’s here just for contrast.
Context for change
This comes from the following github issue:

The dark theme of [cafe.privacylx.org](https://cafe.privacylx.org) is not always… readable by anyone and on all weather and light conditions. A theme with more contrast can improve readability for users with bad vision, on low quality monitors and reading on smaller screens and bad lighting.
I suggest to add an option for a user to switch to a brighter higher contrast theme version via a day/night button. An example with screenshots taken from [android-x86 website](https://www.android-x86.org/):

I’ve now changed the default theme to the white one, because I feel it looks nice and most websites have the white them by default, it seems. But if people don’t like it, I can change it back. Just anwser the poll above
