which also will fix this issue.

Can't we all agree to introduce a proper palette system so that tools can be based on them?

yes, we can agree and in fact, this is some kind ��planned��. Now, real problem is ��who puts the bell to the cat?�� :)

There are all kind of weird tricks to darken/lighten/whatever on the colors of the theme but there is no single place one can go to switch to another palette without having to spend hours in getting things right. I worked on the Sublimish theme to align GTSpotter with it and it was quite full of interesting surprises.

Check https://terminal.sexy/ for example.

We have a live environment and we have to fiddle so much? Come on!

ThemePalette would be a great addition. Color entries should be separated from the semantic meaning (e.g. background, tooltip, ...). There is some semantic meaning in the Theme but it is not backed by a ThemePalette which makes us create additional ThemeClasses for what is basically the same thing, only the palette changing.

yes, please :)

What do you think? Also, is there anything like this foreseen in Brick/Block?
