ModCLI v0.3.8 – Functional + Styled CLI – Pre-Release

This pre-release marks a major step forward for ModCLI — now delivering fully functional CLI tooling with rich styling support, input prompts, and the building blocks for advanced terminal experiences.

Highlights

• 🎨 Theme Engine Integration:
  Apply and switch color themes (e.g., monochrome, blue, green, etc.) to style foreground/background output.

• 🌈 Gradient Text Support:
  Print beautiful horizontal gradients using print_gradient_line() with full RGB blending.

• ⏳ Progress Display Tools:
  Lightweight utilities for spinners, percentage updates, and classic progress bars (with timing control).

• 🎯 Color Picker + Named Colors:
  Use named color constants (like RED, TEAL, ORANGE) or dynamically fetch by name with get_color_by_name().

• 🧩 Custom Input Builders (Text, Password, Confirm):
  Modular input prompts that support secure password input and interactive yes/no confirmations.

• 🧠 Finalized Output Hooks:
  Use print_success(), print_error(), print_status(), and more — all theme-aware and cross-platform.

 

This update wraps up the foundational CLI interaction features needed to begin building polished developer tools, installation flows, or command-heavy interfaces.
