Alright, added a new theme. You can try it by changing your preference in on your setting page. Still plenty of polish left to apply but it's in decent shape on the core pages. It involved a fair amount of tweaking of the base theme to share code so there's a possibility of regression in the base theme. If you see that please point it out.

Lol. Black and white. Is that hard theme to implement?

There's some thought that goes into it. For example achieving visual separation of posts without using the contrast of solid post body against tiled background took a couple of tries to get right (actually still not 100% on it, but it's close). A more restricted palette meant a lot of text had to be rescaled to get visual differentiation. Black on white also makes alignment issues stand out or generates different logical alignments. E.g. right now the new thread button is visually misaligned. Nothing crazy but a lot of little things like that.
Although most of the work went into just supporting different themes, anything that was hardcoded but differs between themes had to be replaced with a variable. I can't really just copy/paste the old one and make edits since that would mean each new feature I add in the future will required double the work.

The black and white kinda looks like shit on my phone but Iβm gonna use it just to torture myself.

No, you already tortured me enough by talking about it and not actually telling me what it frickin is.
