[Feature] GTK/Libadwaita Theme Selection #200

Closed Cyanide-1 closed 6 months ago

Cyanide-1 commented 6 months ago

Hello! I have a feature suggestion. I think a GTK/Libadwaita Theme selection area should be added to COSMIC settings so that end users can configure the themes of their GTK/Libadwaita Apps. Many apps in the linux ecosystem are GTK apps and it is a commonly used toolkit, the likelihood of COSMIC users using GTK apps is very high. Implementing this feature (i assume) wouldn't take too much work since GTK themes have set directories already where they should be placed etc.

The usecase is to add more customization options to end users. Having the ability to set application themes is also a matter of accessibility and can help certain types of disabled folk.

I would also suggest maybe adding some kind of local gtk theme installer in the settings that has an "install theme" button and you click it and then select an installed GTK theme archive from the xdg portal file selector and it automatically unarchives it and places the files into the correct directories. IIRC KDE Plasma does this with GTK themes. Doesn't seem too complex to implement at least.

Thank you for taking the time to read my suggestion.
