GUI overhaul and theming

[psistorm]

On MacOS I'm a heavy Alfred user and also liked the ability to create my own theme for it. I would appreciate a possibility to change the theme for Keypirinha as well.
I don't need the possibility to change the complete shape of the input window. I rather mean the colouring (window, input, font, selected catalog item, ...), font size and probably also the size or transparency of the input dialog.
Other than change the shape, I guess changes in the named areas also won't really influence performance which should of course be the top priority.
It may also be nice to have some sort of exchange format for themes, so users can share themes with each other.

As with many requests that have been made so far, this one is in my todo list. The base of the implementation will be exactly as you imagine it: colors, fonts and fonts sizes will be configurable (not the shape), EDIT and it won't be part of the regular configuration scheme, rather packed in a dedicated and exchangeable container of some form. A .keypirinha-theme zip archive perhaps, that would embed at least an .ini file for the theme setup itself. And this .ini file could take advantage of the value interpolation feature that is already available for regular configuration files, which means themes could also automatically be tweaked according to the current machine (i.e.: mytheme.@machine-name.ini).

EDIT note to self, take #100, #152, and #140 into account.

Personally would like to:

• make scrollbars look good
• rid of unnecessary elements
  • close X button
  • icon on the top-left
  • app title on the bottom of the list
• make ui semitransparent

Now it looks like "blast from the past" (from 2000s). No offense here, some people probably like it...

I agree with @S-ed except the last point "semitransparent"

[polyvertex]

@S-ed Fair enough... The GUI hasn't received a lot of attention thorough the development of Keypirinha.

@S-ed looks - would like to have kp like that!

@ZIEXED It's not mandatory, just an option

@polyvertex Glad You not feeling offended. Only best wishes.

@Cantello the screenshot from WOX, it has own issues... My brother is an iOS developer, and I'm using Mac sometimes, love some features in UI. Best thing ever is "no main window" apps.

On hiding scrollbars or better yet applying some subtle skinning to them as in the WOX screenshot.
