Allow naming for Terminal Profile color profile settings

aphive commented 2 years ago

First off, great job putting this together.

Is there a way to get a reference map added to the interface that shows which filed matches what option in the Terminal Profile settings if even in the documentation?

For example: mainbg = pallet color 0

I tried to see if I could map things out but it just got even weirder...

Here is the example theme metalheart from your site:

FIELD	VALUE
mainbg	`#1d272a`
mainfg	`#8693ae`
builtin	`#9a91b8`
keyword	`#6e94ad`
string	`#ba899c`
functionname	`#937aba`
variable	`#638f81`
type	`#7a9f81`
constant	`#5980a3`
comment	`#727272`
warning	`#ff0000`
warning2	`#ff8800`

This is how it generated in the terminal profile:

IN TERMINAL	METALHEART	ON THEME CREATOR
palette color 0	`#1D272A`	mainbg
palette color 1	`#7B87A0`
palette color 2	`#95A0B8`
palette color 3	`#717B92`
palette color 4	`#667084`
palette color 5	`#937ABA`
palette color 6	`#7A9F81`
palette color 7	`#6E94AD`	keyword
palette color 8	`#5980A3`	constant
palette color 9	`#638F81`	variable
palette color 10	`#7A9F81`	type
palette color 11	`#FF0000`	warning
palette color 12	`#937ABA`	functionname
palette color 13	`#667084`
palette color 14	`#7B87A0`
palette color 15	`#8693AE`	mainfg
Text	`#8693AE`	mainfg
Background	`#1D272A`	mainbg
Cursor Foreground	`#1D272A`	mainbg
Cursor Background	`#8693AE`	mainfg
Highlight Foreground	`#2E3440`
Highlight Background	`#88C0D0`

Notice that some of the colors in the theme generator did not even get used and some random colors were used instead.

Hi, Thanks for this.

Did you take a look at the template ?

The "random colors" are shades (darker or lighter) of mainfg and mainbg.

Sorry for the late reply, that makes sense. Thanks.
