Is there a road map for native oled for gnome shell? Maybe an official oled Adwaita theme.

@squidslime what is “native OLED”? GNOME already supports OLED displays fine; I’ve been loving it on my Dell XPS 13 9310 with OLED. Do you mean like a full-black theme, or something? I don’t think that’s something upstream GNOME would implement since it can have other issues, like smearing. For the Shell, a custom theme could work but for apps it’s something that apps themselves would need to implement/support with Adwaita’s existing styling framework.
Pure black is what was meant, which turns out to be easy enough to implement using shell extension and extracting the CSS file.
I'm slowly eye balling a new monitor and I'm 100% going to get an OLED, my Samsung VA is on its last legs, it takes 30 minutes to warm up 😢.
So I'm curious why you want pure black. Is it a laptop so you're saving on battery? Or maybe pure black helps combat burn in when combined with monitor tools? Or you just like it, hah?
