Port for MobaXterm

[bmilcs]

Hello!

I'm getting tired of PuTTY and I'm exploring other SSH clients for Windows. MobaXterm seems to be quite popular, but dear god --- it's hideous. It truly needs the magical Nord touch!

Once you load MobaXterm, there are two main visual settings:

• Display > Skin Selector --- this is the big one. The overall app could really use some love.
• Terminal > Look & Feel > Colors Scheme --- this is also important, to match the Window's gui to the actual terminal section in which you actively engage with

Thank you so much in advance! I hope someone can make this happen!

EDIT: I went ahead and customized the stock dark terminal color scheme to Nord-ish. To anyone that's curious:

Hi @bmilcs :wave:, thanks for your contribution :+1:

I've added it to the backlog and @-mention you as soon as I start working on it so you can track the progress or contribute ideas for this port project.

Please be aware that it may take some time for this port project to be implemented because there are already 60+ port project requests in the backlog and my free time is limited to work on the massive amount of issues & PRs. I currently focus on the data transition of all port projects to the new and shiny website and documentations to finally reduce the maintenance overhead, create a „single source of truth“ and increase the overall project quality :octocat: Also take into account that I work as a software developer in the “real world“ and I hope you understand that the time to work on my projects may vary depending on my free time. :pray:

I'm a bit worried about the future plans of the MobaXterm creators regarding the licensing model. This might be a problem later on when it comes to maintaining the port, e.g. adding new syntax highlighting, improving existing ones of fixing any problem. As long as there is no way for theme authors to use a trial ersion of the app I won't be able to support the port. That's one of the main problems when trying to support commercial products :unamused:

Feel free to submit your own port into a public repository so other users can use it in the meantime. This could also help to bootstrap the official port later on by using it as fundamental code base :smile:
