nfebe 5acf36f17d fix(theming): Correctly generate CSS for font themes 
Fixes a regression from dropping the SCSS compiler that broke
font themes like OpenDyslexic. The old code relied on the SCSS
compiler to automatically correct the order of the CSS rules,
ensuring the @font-face declaration was always valid.
The server now correctly generates the `@font-face` rule at
the top level of the stylesheet, fixing the previously invalid nested CSS.

Background picture requirements

A reference to why it was very difficult to actually find good background pictures – there are quite some requirements when it comes to picking:

  • It needs to be an exceptionally good photo of course – since when chosen, people will see it every day.
  • We need to have a good balance of different motives, e.g. not too many landscape pics.
  • Same for a good balance of different colors.
  • The photo needs to work as a background. Photos with objects focused in the middle don’t really work as they will be overlapped by the widgets and content anyway.
  • Especially the top part cannot have too much differing contrast, as then it’s not possible to see the navigation icons.
  • Especially the top part should be either dark-ish or light-ish, but not a shade exactly inbetween because then contrast can neither be achieved with light nor dark icons.
  • We serve the pictures at 4k resolution and most of the selected images are also available in 6k or higher so it is future-proof.
  • For the search of course we had to limit to CC0, CC By and CC By-Sa. Only CC0 would have been practically impossible cause there’s just not so many good ones which fit.
  • Good pages to find photos are StockSnap, Wikimedia Commons, Openverse and Flickr (with license "commercial use & mods allowed"), sorting by interesting or downloads. Most others like Unsplash, Pexels, Pixabay, etc. meanwhile have a non-standard license.

Background picture technicals

  • All backgrounds are sized to maximum 3840px width (4K resolution).
  • To ensure quick loading times, the image needs to be compressed, ideally to around 1 MB or less. E.g. via 90–95% quality in GIMP export. We could also explore using newer formats.
  • Previews are sized to 352px width (min height 192px), which is double of the current picker grid size so it looks nice on high-res displays. Quality is also set to around 90% at export.
