Our TROMjaro Theme Switcher has been fully re-written by @Rokosun in Nim and the owlkettle library. Our theme switcher is now made in a more sane way.
When you select a theme it will remain highlighted using the accent color of the selected theme. The notifications are also improved and you can see the theme icon in the notification preview.
Roko had to learn all of these from scratch, in order to make it. He is always improving our custom TROMjaro scripts and on top of that he is a proper human being: calm, nice, smart, down to Earth, and so friendly. How awesome that he is helping TROM so much without asking anything in return. That0s becuase he does not "work for TROM", we all work together to build something important and useful!

in reply to Roma • • •Dude thanks a lot for telling me about this language, I feel like it would've taken me a long long time if I were to write this in something like C, but #Nim offers a very simple and flexible syntax without any major performance drawback, it actually compiles to C code which is amazing.

You don't have to, I'm working on it as we speak, haha 😆 @tio asked me if I could also rewrite our Layout Switcher in Nim, so maybe I'll do that too let's see. Overall I'm really glad to have found this owlkettle library, I'm forever grateful to the developers of that library because it is what made it possible for me to write GUI apps, the developer even made some tutorials on YouTube which were extremely helpful.

Oh man you are so kind, I honestly couldn't have done it without you. I was reading this article the other day about how people often overlook non-code contributions in the FOSS community - https://opensource.net/non-code-open-source-contributions/
It made me think of you and how most of the work in TROMjaro is not related to code at all. Anyway, here's the funny thing - at one point I remember watching some YouTube tutorials to learn how Inkscape works, and man it was not easy at all 😅 So for me it's very impressive how you can quickly design these little icons and such, Theme Switcher wouldn't have been possible without those nice button icons you made - the UI is the only part visible to the end users so it's important to make it look nice and intuitive. It's amazing how we can work together to make this thing that none of us could've made alone 🙃
