Txt. files and uncolored numbered and bulleted lists?

Hi! I love Deepdwn and how consistent it is through all platforms in both look and feel. 

I've noticed that in light mode, numbered and bulleted lists are not colored, but in dark mode they are colored blue. I was thinking that it would be better if the user could customize the color that numbered and bulleted lists are highlighted in to match the accent color they chose for the app, and have it present in both light and dark mode for consistency. I think adding a separate option that enables you to choose any color you want for the highlighted lists, to match your accent color, or turn it off altogether would be more consistent and suit all users. 

My second request, is whether it is possible for Deepdwn to read txt files. I have a huge library of texts that are in txt format and it would be more convenient to have an option to either import them or be able to read them easily. I don't know how easy or difficult that would be however, so if it's not a hugely demanded feature and it's difficult to implement I'd understand. 

Love your app and looking forward to see it improve further in the future!

Thanks for the feedback!

I’ll take a look at standardizing the dark and light mode bullet colors a bit. They won’t be based on accent color, because different colors are used for the different indentation levels. It will probably not get a separate configuration (because options are very time consuming to maintain).

I don’t think text files will be supported, but I need to spend some time on it. While it’s easy to allow them to be opened, there’s no (good) way to support metadata the way that Deepdwn does for markdown and fountain files, which means no tags and categories, document pinning, RTL handling, and no explicit document titles, and these are all important for file organization.

Most Deepdwn features would also not be useful in text files (document preview and scrolling, autocomplete, link handling, etc etc). I can understand not wanting to change applications just to edit text files, but I don’t know that there’s a good way to handle text files currently without moving Deepdwn toward a more generic file tree editor.
