Thanks Ben !
Just fyi: for reference, the WP standard theme “Twenty Twenty” does indeed utilize the configured theme colors in Gutenberg. Interesting enough: those “plus” symbols (to add blocks here and there) are shown in white instead of black when the background is dark.
Most other themes (even Virtue) stay with black on white independent from theme settings. The problem with Ascend is, that is uses the text color from the theme, but not the background color. (A quick/interim fix here could be to adopt the behaviour from Virtue)
Letting the site creator choose is a nice idea.
Thanks for your quick support and hinting row layout block. Nice!
