There is no proper theme switcher

[amtoine]

I would like to work on a proper script to change the themes of config files easily.

The idea for now is to:

• make sure each color of the color palette is on its own line in the config files that need to have their color theme changed
• add markers to isolate the color palette in the config file
• use the extra meta data from the markers to replace the color palette

IDEA OF IMPLEMENTATION:

#+ BEGIN:color-theme
#+ format:{name} = '{color}'
#+ names:color_1,color_2,color_3
color_1 = '#74acdb'
color_2 = '#70a4ce'
color_3 = '#6c9dc1'
#+ END:color-theme

And then, once it is possible to change one file at a time, i would like to write a script that can:

• read from a database of themes, e.g. kovidgoyal/kitty-themes
• let the user explore the database of themes
• ask the user what theme to apply...
• and on which configuration files
• apply the selected theme to the selected files
• restart or recompile programs that need one or the other after changing a configuration file

IDEA OF IMPLEMENTATION:
i previously had a2n-s-themes which was supposed to do that, but it was flawed and not clean up to my standards... i want to abtract that new script(s) from this one.
also, i plan to use dmenu and rofi to have a graphical interaction and zenity to ask sudo passwords in a GUI

Actually, after experimenting a bit, i will very likely split that into multiple PRs in the future.

Now that i can apply basically any values to any hunk in any config file, see #16, i would like to have a script that can generate a theme from scratch for me 👌

Now that i have a2n-s-compute-color-palette that can generate color themes in an easy way, i want to work on a central place to apply themes to all the configs at once 😋

see my first opening comment:

• read from a database of themes, e.g. kovidgoyal/kitty-themes
• let the user explore the database of themes
• ask the user what theme to apply...
• and on which configuration files
• apply the selected theme to the selected files
• restart or recompile programs that need one or the other after changing a configuration file
