Appearance (Least important part considering Fossify Gallery... but I guess my personal preferences go here?)
- Dark theme set to "On" (or "System default" if you plan on switching between dark & light theme often)
- High contrast dark theme enabled (just so I can have that full black dark theme)
- Dynamic color theme enabled, if present (only on >=A12; <=A11 stuck with default cyan accent "and you will be happy")

Media library
