Describe the solution you'd like?

More granular and extensive theming support: see additional context.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Much of the UI appearance is controlled by just two color variables, `accent` and `foreground`.

Additional context

• Finer control over color schemes, esp.
  • separate variables for popup background colors, maybe even one for each kind of popup, defaulting to shades of foreground only if unset
  • separate variables for different functions of the accent color, defaulting to shades of accent only if unset
  • additional variables to customize appearance of text highlighting
• Support for RGBA colors (cf. #17)
• Support for blur in backgrounds (incl. popups)
• Theming support beyond colors, e.g.:
  • Different tab bar styles
  • Rounded corners
  • Custom padding amounts / margins (i.e., customizability beyond just compact vs. standard mode)
  • Ability to hide some UI elements (e.g. help or settings icons in the top right of windows)

Default warp dark theme except with foreground: #ff0000 instead of foreground: #ffffff to illustrate current coarse theming granularity.

How important is this feature to you?

Like this idea, was coming to see if something like this was already a request. I would love to be able to set the default foreground text color separately from the general accent coloring of the window, and this would allow that :)

This issue seems like a good idea. I was going to submit an a new issue to adress a problem I have found, but it seems like it should be covered by this more generic issue.

I am in the process of migrating away from Warp to Wave and for the most part, this is going ok. I have ported over a Warp theme to work in Wave but it works except for a small but quite important point and that is with the foreground text colour.

In Warp, the foreground text colour is calculated dynamically based upon the user setting such that is actually takes account of the background colour and switching to a high contrast foreground to ease legibility. But this doesnt happen in Wave, which makes the text less readable:

Warp:

Wave:

Just focus on the text in the prompt and you will see what I mean; the prompt text colour changes dynamically based upon the background colour it is being overlayed on, whereas in Wave, the text colour is fixed and therfore difficult to read.
