Porting a nord theme

[VimalMollyn]

Is anyone planning to port a nord theme for jupyter-themes?

Based on this. https://github.com/arcticicestudio/nord

Would love to see Nord on this as well. Currently using Nord from https://github.com/arbennett/jupyterlab-themes

I would also like to see a nord theme on this repo.

Anyone know how to do this? I don't mind helping out, but I have no idea where to start 😅. @dunovank Could you please help out here?

I would also be interested in helping out. Is there a way to swap out the colors of an existing color scheme or should we write a new css file? I'll take a look at existing themes and see if I can make a nord version of one.

EDIT: It seems like we can create a file nord.less in the styles directory (https://github.com/dunovank/jupyter-themes/tree/master/jupyterthemes/styles) and I can make a pull request adding it.

I've made some progress on a nord color scheme by forking the repository and adding a nord.less file here https://github.com/intermezzio/jupyter-themes/blob/master/jupyterthemes/styles/nord.less If anyone can tell me how I can (a) compile this to the style's css file and (b) test the color scheme on my system I would like to know how. Also, not all of the colors are complete (some are still copied from the chesterish theme). If anyone else is interested in editing the nord theme feel free to make a pull request to my fork of this repository.

For A) I'm also interested in understanding how to compile the css. @dunovank let us know? This is awesome!

For B) I was able to clone an existing .less style file ( (https://github.com/dunovank/jupyter-themes/tree/master/jupyterthemes/styles), replace it with the nord colors, save it in the same directory as "nordport," and then load it as a theme in my notebook (!jt -t nordport)

@intermezzio I think that last bit is how to test - just load the new theme you ported.
