Feature Request: Dark Theme

[lennartkoopmann]

First of all, thank you so much for this great project.

My first feature request would be a dark theme. The fairly bright colors can be a little overwhelming in dark environments.

Great idea, I'll do it :-)

Hi - I've pushed a new branch called "darkmode". Would you be willing to give it a try? You should be able to compile it up like this:

git clone https://github.com/gcla/termshark
cd termshark
git checkout origin/darkmode
export GO111MODULE=on
go install -ldflags="-X github.com/gcla/termshark.Version=1.0.0+" ./...

Then termshark will be in ~/go/bin/.

You can run it like this:

termshark ... --dark-mode

Or set it permanently in the "main" section of XDG_CONFIG_HOME/termshark.toml:

[main]
  dark-mode = true

You can also toggle it in the running application itself via the menu button.

I hope it looks okay when the terminal supports >= 256 colors (e.g. TERM=xterm-256color) or just 8 colors (e.g. TERM=xterm). Let me know how it looks, what UI elements you'd like altered, etc :-)

I think dark theme should be default IMO.

Verified working, Macos 10.14 via both command flag and menu item.

Hi @kutsan - I merged this back to master, and made the in-app toggle (via menu->d) persist the setting to the config file. So making dark-mode the persistent default can be done quickly without editing a config file.
