Color scheme stuff

[luebking]

So, the default color schemes are by scientifically subjective metrics all ugly and there was no way to confgure the colors, so I checked the package files, straced qterminal and figure that it does indeed check ~/.config/qterminal.org/color-schemes/
I looked at a scheme, compared w/ the terminal.sexy exports and to nobodies surprise it's the konsole scheme format.

tl;dr, the customization is completely possible just not exposed to the user what implies that nobody here is aware that https://www.reddit.com/r/unixporn/ exists 😉

What I envision would be a simple color configuration dialog, here's a screenshot from the one in sqriptor

On top of that a GUI to import color schemes, pot. referencing the forementioned terminal.sexy (eg. for conversion) and some clever features like daytime awareness (black on white by day and white on black by night) as well an autogenerated faded version when the window loses the focus (eg. urxvt has that, it helps a lot esp. if there's no window decoration)

Before I start working on this, is there general interest in this or would such patch be rejected (because I called the existing schemes ugly)?

Please see https://github.com/lxqt/qterminal/wiki#how-to-add-a-custom-color-scheme-as-user (~/.config/qterminal.org/color-schemes/ will be removed soon).

As for the ugliness of the current schemes, I agree. Personally, I use a scheme that I made for myself. But please don't change them; such things are subjective.

Before I start working on this, is there general interest…

It'll be a very nice feature, and your PR would be very appreciated.
