List of theme IDs in theme preview on website

[alex-schaaf]

Hey!

Gogh and its website are fantastic!
But it's cumbersome to first look at the themes on the website, then find the name in the list of themes in the terminal, identify the theme ID and then enter it.

It would greatly enhance the user experience to simply have the ID listed in the title bar of the theme sample images (see red box in the image):

The problem with this is that every time someone contributes with a theme, it is necessary to re-generate the theme list in json.
Since the ids are consecutive and change every time there is a new theme.
At this moment I can't think of anything to solve it, so for now I'm going to pass this issue to discussions.
Thank you

Every time someone contribute with a theme, the ID changes.

Surely I can align that the page is always updated with the repo themes.

However, people do not know this and tomorrow someone can make a script that uses the ID x to install a specific theme.

When Gogh changes the ID change and the script will break and the worst thing is that it will be very difficult to debug and figure out why he is not installing the "original" theme.

Yea i know we need to set static ID's to resolve this and I have a solution in mind or so I think.

The static ID it can be generated by making a hash of each Theme and using the first 5 numbers of that hash. Something like that. I still do not know.

At some point it will be done.

Why not us this opportunity to use the name of the theme as the ID instead of using some number or a hash of that file (that might update when updating theme). The ID of the themes would be the file name itself, like one-dark.

The very next question would be how (or "if") to keep this backward compatible with the number based system already being used (for people who used this as automation, who would see this breaking anyway in either case).
