Themes

[gzimmers]

Never worked with vue or electron, so still getting a feel for things. But I figured adding themes would be pretty easy. It's almost done. Let me know if you're interested in using this. Otherwise I'll just trash it.

Though if you are interested, I'll resolve the conflicts and finish it up. If that is the case, I have a question or two for you.

Thank you very much. 👍 You can still work on this. A theme system would be great! #16

There are several problems need to be taken care:

• I've replaced settingsStore.js with configStore and moved it to the main directory.
• Settings should be saved in the main process (main.js). You can check how the locale setting is saved. Communication between renderer and main process should be established.
• The theme system should be hackable, which means users can further customize the details like color, font, or other appearance in a file like style.css.

Thank you. I'm waiting for your modification and PRs. This would be great.

Sweet, I'll spend some time finishing it up.

The theme system should be hackable, which means users can further customize the details like color, font, or other appearance in a file like style.css.

Totally agree, though I couldn't think of a way to generate a dynamic style.css. If you could point me in the right direction regarding generating a css file dynamically without hacking it to bits, that would be great. But otherwise, I'll continue with my approach of using style objects and v-bind to attach them.

My other question was regarding the TabsPane. I'm having difficulty styling it and I can't seem to figure out where you got the component. If you could refer me to the docs that provided that component so I could read about how to style it, that would be great.

The UI kit for this app is iview Check its components. I'll look into this theme-building tool or anything similar, I think it will help speed up the procedure of customizing a theme for the contributors.

Besides that, the way I thought is to create a blank style.css in the user directory to override the default settings. But I haven't come up with a perfect solution 'cause you have to write them line by line, it's too wearisome.

If you need my help, I could open a new branch named theme for your pull request so that I could review and fix something. Thanks for spending time on this app. If you'd like, we can communicate in private using email or other Instant Message tools. 😄

[gzimmers]

Agreed, I emailed you. We can schedule something there.

Ok, I'm gonna close this PR. Check email 😄
