Problem
Currently, the action buttons (boost, favorite, bookmark) use the same tint color as links. This creates two issues:
- Hard to distinguish active states: The boost button only changes color (icon isn't filled), making it difficult to quickly see if a post has already been boosted
- No flexibility: Users who prefer a specific link color are forced to use that same color for action button states
Proposed Solution
Allow users to configure action button colors separately from the link tint color. Options could include:
- A dedicated color picker for "active action button" state
- Or: Use filled icons for active states (boost, favorite already boosted/favorited)
- Or: A high-contrast default that differs from the link color
Why This Matters (Accessibility)
Quick visual scanning of a timeline to identify already-interacted posts is a common use case. The current subtle color-only change (without filled icons) requires extra cognitive effort, especially for users with color vision differences.
