I made a catppuccin theme for photon. Import this:

{"zinc":{"50":"#cdd6f4","100":"#bac2de","200":"#a6adc8","300":"#9399b2","400":"#7f849c","500":"#6c7086","600":"#585b70","700":"#45475a","800":"#313244","900":"#1e1e2e","925":"#181825","950":"#11111b"},"primary":{"100":"#a6e3a1","900":"#7287fd"},"other":{"white":"#ffffff"},"slate":{}}

and voila! This theme only changes dark mode colors right now.

Is there some documentation somewhere about what the colors "label" are used for ? I would be interested to make the app look like the theme I use in my gvim I use for development.
- Here's what I've gathered so far:
  
  Slate (LIGHT) 25: Central window background 50: Global background 100: instance, background hover left bar, pictures background 200: outlines 300: buttons bottom outline 400: ??? 500: instance 600: sidebars text color, OP username, post date, reply button 700: ??? 800: ??? 900: titles, comments, upvote/downvote buttons 950: ???
  
  Zinc (DARK) 50: ??? 100: titles, comments 200: upvote/downvote buttons, settings comments 300: post text 400: sidebars text color 500: user instance 600: theme buttons outline (?) 700: button top outline 800: outlines, background hover left bar 900: Buttons, instance, cards background 925: Central window background 950: Global background
  
  Primary 100 Main UI accent color - DARK 900 Main UI accent color - LIGHT
  
  Other Black: ??? Seems to always be black White: card background - LIGHT
  
  @Xylight@lemdro.id am I in the right direction?
  
  Spot on actually, all the ??? are unused colors. I'll add some docs for theming later
  
  Thanks
- sure, I'll add that later
Nice !
hello this is my test comment from now on.

markdown test, but it's gonna be multiple lines. this is to see how well photon will handle multi-line stuff like this

this is another test
Very nice feature this theming :) And your example theme is also very nice, in general I always use dark themes but the Photon default one was too dark for me (maybe this could become the default of many users other than me prefer it).
