Feature request: open-ended theme selection

[marceline-cramer]

Color theming enthusiast here. Would love if I had the option to one day switch to a cozy color scheme on my computer on a whim and open a PR to definitively add that theme as a selection in the Commune frontend. This would require a system to support the loading of an open-ended number of themes as well as the UI to select the available theme options.

Might there be some prior art in Svelte-land for this? Or all of web-land for that matter.

@hnb-ku did extensive theming for Discourse, so he might have some thoughts.

Thanks for bringing this up. Themeing is definitely on my current TODO list as I'm refactoring the client.

There's a couple favorite themes of mine that I'd really like to get in at some point:

• Gruvbox Material (my current favorite color theme)
• Everforest
• Rose Pine
• Tokyo Night
• Catppuccin

Thanks for the links. I do use Gruvbox (original dark) in vim!

I'm wondering how best to approach themeing in the the UI/settings. Perhaps similar to Discord, but also a good old textarea for users to dump their own CSS in...
