Test local themes

How to test local theme. I made a certain theme and want to test it without adding it to github

[kRHYME7]

The patcher is actually made for local use and was extended to work with github.

For testing Locally theme should be inside a ../Configs directory with this tree

Configs are typically the same as how HyDE stores the configs.
Configs/.config ==> $HOME/.config

Source will have the Tarball for Gtk theme, gtk cursor, gtk icon , etc.

Note that to avoid errors the parent directory for the contents of the tarball should be the same of what is declared in ../Configs/.config/hypde/themes/THEME-NAME/hypr.theme

Above is the old implementation, patcher now supports using hyprland variables like $GTK-THEME instead of parsing from a gsettings command. (This might not work if uses scripts is not updated )

Note Normally, when you reimport (re patch) a theme it will skip the extraction of the tarball, so you need this flags if you want to populate the changes from the tarball

Pretty much that's it.

If Users just want to make a theme for themselves then above method is irrelevant.

Just copy a theme directory inside ~/.config/hyde/themes then choose that theme

Then users can do theme changes on that copied directory

Also when making a new theme, do we need to edit kvantum files

[kRHYME7]

edit the generated one or find some kvantum theme rename it the same as the other themes. (do not forget to add the header line )

you need the 2 files the svg file and the kconfig file.
