The current "code view" makes it really hard to track changes for people with color vision deficiency.

I attached 2 screenshots where I simulated how the diff-view looks like for people with deuteranopia, 1 where I simulated the situation for people completely color blind. It's really hard to distinguish the red/green shades, I found.

So I would suggest making a color theme available for selection in user profile settings, that's accessible for everyone (even though there are addons to change website colors/css, I feel that shouldn't be necessary to access a webpage).

The overall Codeberg theme seems "okay" in most cases, but I am not an accessibilty expert.

I agree about this, I was recently hit with missing changes in a PR review, because I used a terrible computer screen which made some highlights invisible to me.

However, there are some new Forgejo themes available to adjust colours for some cases of limited vision, and we are getting to test more and more frontend code automatically for things like colour contrast.

I'm closing this here, because I believe the Forgejo team is on track with this.
