Linux desktop theme customization is limited and forces users into rigid design choices
Linux users who adopt GTK themes like Layan are locked into predetermined accent color schemes (e.g., purple) with no easy way to customize them to personal preferences. Users want blue or green variants but lack accessible tools to modify themes without deep technical knowledge, forcing them to either accept unwanted aesthetics or abandon the theme entirely.

The theme is really great, great job! However, I'm not a huge fan of purple accent colors, I'm more usually a fan of blue/green accent colors, it would be great if we could have a few other variants with other accent colors other than purple :)...
