			===Dark Themes===

			Most of my programs are in light mode, but for a few it just feels right to use a dark theme for them. Anything to do with code (text editors, IDEs, the terminal), music players, and drawing programs like GIMP and Krita. Perhaps what they have in common is that they are what you use when you are being creative.

			Websites are another matter. Every website brings its own mood and should control its own theme. It's too bad that most websites assume that anti-aliasing is being used and don't pick font settings that look good without it, hence the need for disallowing them from overriding the defaults.

			====Oh noes====

			I changed some things more toward how I wanted it to look but I don't remember what exactly I did and I don't understand everything about how all the parts interact.

			I think Firefox on Linux refers to fonts.conf located in ~/.config/fontconfig for its font-related settings and I suspect settings there override what you might specify in about:config. Reason is: I tried disabling anti-aliasing and got it disabled in webpages but not in the UI of the program itself. Then I closed and reopened it and the anti-aliasing was present in the UI (and ugly as fuck because of no font hinting). Then attempts to change the settings back in about:config failed. I fixed it by opening fonts.conf and putting settings: antialias false, hinting true, hintstyle hintfull, autohint false. With the hinting in place, it looks good again.

			A bunch of configs I use:

			*Another thing is that either I'm getting CSS wrong, or Stylish can't override fonts with CSS when I have disabled webpages overriding my default fonts.

			*mattari doesn't look right when I disallow overriding fonts for websites even though Strange World looks right (Strange World even has correct line spacing)

			At least Qt programs look alright. Qt is always so janky and second-class.

			I should hunt down more Microsoft fonts and remove some useless fonts and generally organise my collection some more... I'm sure there are lots of cute fonts waiting for me to find them...
