Flatpak/Flathub availability #12

Hello Sébastien!

One of the aspects of GTK+ theming that's most important is consistency across programs, and I'm concerned that without a Flathub packaging of Mint-Yz, it is difficult to achieve this goal. As Mint is an LTS distro, users are more drawn to containerized apps as releases age. Having them default to Adwaita when Mint-Yz is enabled is jarring and unfortunate. While I have no experience in Flathub development, I am a student and have a good bit of time on my hands. I'd love to work on packaging this for the benefit of the community (and GPLv3 allows me to!), but I wanted to check with you first!

Hello @feathersAndFury,

  1. Please excuse this long 26 days delay before answering. That’s because i only saw your issue here yesterday. Next time, you could use arobase+username = @SebastJava to trigger notifications and/or email and get quick responses. Like i just did with your name here on top of this message. Or tell me if there is some other way i could be automatically informed of any new activity on my repo.
  2. I wasn’t watching GitHub because i am currently re-editing all the colors again. Working locally. This time i do not want to quickly push corrections over and over again. I am taking my time and should only push when truly ready. Updated colors are probably coming soon!
  3. I agree with you. It would be great to have the same theme across all applications. That’s what themes are for. Having a Mint-Yz theme on FlatHub would be great. I don't know exactly what you want from me. At first, i thought you wanted to push things here and i got a bit scared because i don’t know you, so i would need to check everything before approval. But no, you are talking about creating your own FlatPack version and uploading it on FlatHub all by yourself, right? You are just asking me if i like your idea or not? Of course i like your idea. Go ahead. :)

P.S.: Let me know when you succeed in uploading this to FlatHub. I could put a link to your work from the README.md home page.

Hello @feathersAndFury I see you forked my repo. Great. I just wanted you to know there is a color update coming very soon. In the next hours. Stay tuned!

Thank you! I'm trying to set up a flatpak build environment at the moment, so I'm just gonna keep messing with it until I get it working. My intent is to stay exactly even with your repo.
