Config tiddler for light & dark palette

[linonetwo]

I was typing here, but I made it a forum post instead https://talk.tiddlywiki.org/t/config-for-light-dark-palette-e-g-palette-dark/8071 because I think the config tiddler name may need some consensus.

Thank you. I am following the Talk discussion and I support your idea. Right know I use the below workaround:

1. read the $:/palette text field
2. if empty, it is assumed $:/palettes/Vanilla is in use
3. from the palette in use read the color-scheme field

This way Shiraz realizes which color mode (light or dark) is in use. The downside is unofficial palettes may have not the color-scheme field.

Oh, I don't know the color-scheme field yet!

But I have preferred dark scheme, which is Nord, but this button will pick Solarized automatically instead. So a manually choosed palette is required.

After the discussion there is settled (after a week), I will PR it to the core, and we can try to use those config tiddlers.

No you can set it automatically! Open Shiraz Settings, and set your light and dark palette of choice, then the button automatically switch between your choices not the default value. See instruction below. Also there is a reset button to return to Shiraz Default value.

Now the switch palette supports dark, warm, and light color palettes.
It uses cycle operator. NOTE: for first use click on Reset to default button in above picture.

It seems TW 5.3.4 will have its own switch palette.
