Blindfold toggle is a sour spot

From the forum

PR #19555 introduced a bright red zone in the blindfold view

Reading the discord discussion (link in the PR), I see there was a confusion between blind mode (where users are visually impaired) and blind fold (where users see the interface)

@dav1312 you may have some insight on this ...

My 2 cents:

• Blind mode and zen mode can be triggered by mistake and need a visual feedback
• Blind fold has no shortcut and cannot be toggled by mistake. I don't think the additional red link is justified.

I added the button, but I didn't make it bright red.
The discord discussion was a misunderstanding, but there were other users in the past complaining that they couldn't see the pieces because they enabled it by mistake, see links in the PR comments and the closed issue.

Oh, my bad, I did not read the comments in the PR ...

Still, a player cannot enter blindfold mode by mistake while they are playing ...

Yes, it is a bit of a shame if we need it all game, every game, just for those who press the toggle and then press on 'blindfold' mode accidentally and then can't figure out what they did.

I've kept playing games and the warning still seems to be in red. I guess the colour change is coming later on. Thanks.
