Dark Mode for Tablet/Store (or Lower Brightness) for Accessibility
Hey Devs and other players :)

Already enjoying the game, but there is an accessibility issue that was present in the last game and unfortunately also seems to be present in this one: The whiteness of the UI pages of the tablet/store/etc is too bright. I want to ask you to please consider creating a dark mode option, or to allow us to scale down the brightness of the tablet ui seperately from the game. I understand this might not be super easy to implement, but let's try to figure out a solution together!
Some of us sadly don't have eyes that can handle bright light well. At this moment, in order to play the game for the many hours that I've played the last one, I have to scale down the brightness of my entire screen, which then makes the rest of the game too dark :(

TLDR:
Please add either a Dark Mode/High Contrast mode or allow us to scale down the Brightness of the white in the tablet UI!

Thank you for reading :)

They did not address this issue for over 5 years in the first game. In that Discord, they said it was the way the UI was originally developed and they couldn't change it unless they rewrote the whole thing. Since they have now rewritten the whole thing and did not address the brightness for this new version combined with their previous lack of response to other accessibility issues (such as sample colors not matching and font sizes), I genuinely believe this developer does not care about accessibility issues.

Well, here's one more vote for dark mode in the tablet interface, as I have chronic migraines and both House Flipper games are actually relatively playable until I'm at the point where I can't play anything at all. The brightness of the tablet is definitely the biggest issue during moderate to high-level migraines, as even turning down monitor brightness doesn't help as much as it could (and if I'm at high-level pain/symptoms, the monitor brightness is already low).
Soon to be two years later, and still nothing!

Still wondering why this hasn't been implemented yet.. The tablet is brighter than the sun, ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.
Not that big of a deal to just make the color a bit darker, no one gives a ♥♥♥♥ about how it looks. They've used the absolute brightest white as well :P

Speaking of; The fact that the UI is worse than HF1 is also very impressive. Missing search and item log, and a hyperlink to the category the item you are inspecting in tablet is.
