Rework colors about miniserve HOT 14 CLOSED

I'll keep experimenting :)

By the way, instead of doing it a CLI argument, I did a theme chooser in pure CSS, and the theme has become a query parameter. Since theme is really up to the client, I found it wierd to set it at CLI-level, kind of like sorting.

Still a prototype, but it looks like this at the moment:

Should be easy, do you have a colorscheme or an application you like design-wise ?

Here's a little fun based on an Arch-like palette :) I also added some padding.

I actually kinda like that colorscheme. Actualllly how about colorscheme support? We could provide a bunch of colorschemes. The few bytes won't make it too bloaty and another added CLI option won't kill us.

Yeah but generally I also want a more contrasted default color scheme that still looks clean but just has better contrast than the current one.

Sure, great idea. I'll be on it then ;) By support, do you mean being able to read actual tmTheme files from known themes (Monokai, etc) ? Or should I hardcode the themes ? I think we don't need the whole themes, we basically need 8-10 colors max, so I would go for hardcoding them.

struct MonokaiTheme {
  background: "abcdef",
  text_color: "eeeeee",
  link_color: "ffffff"
  ...
}

Something like this (that's not valid syntax but you get it :P)

from miniserve.

Yes, absolutely go for hard coding them.

Maybe actually in the form of having a different CSS template files? I'm not sure which would be better.

If we only change colors, I think the first option is the easiest. If we want to have actual themes and not only color schemes, the latter option is the best.

I'll start with the first one, we'll see how it goes

Sure, how would you want it to be ?

I honestly don't know :P I'd probably play around with it a bit and look at how other software represents the dates.
