TraditionalOK GTK3: Core colors through color scheme #273

Closed sidorsett closed 1 year ago

sidorsett commented 4 years ago

Hi,

Shouldn't core colors to be defined through the colors in the color scheme?

Cheers!

I don't think this is needed. What does it fix?

Hi, raveit65.

Shouldn't it be so that you define variables in the color scheme to recolor the entire theme? Therefore, shouldn't it be so that only the constants in the "color scheme" section are defined in absolute values, while all other variables in other sections are defined through the constants in the "color scheme" section?

The benefit of such approach is that you can easily recolor the entire theme (e.g. with the sed command) by modifying only a very limited number of constants in the "color scheme" section. This way you can get a green/red/gray/whatever alternative instead of the original blue one.

Cheers!
