The settingsReader.py file should fall back to the config file shipped with Retiled if the requested key isn't present in the version in `~/.config/Retiled/RetiledSettings/configs/` even if there is a config file there.

This way it's easier for projects to change the defaults while also keeping a safe backup setting in the code so everything doesn't break if there's no config file present...

While I never used it very much personally, I'm sure it would be very cool to implement a version of the "Me" tile hub so people can do things like read and respond to posts from multiple social media platforms, just like the 8.0 one did before being gutted in 8.1 due to partners being upset.

I'll need to have a way for people to securely sign into their accounts in the "accounts" page of Settings first. Not sure how to do that. As of right...

Apparently Python multithreading can be used when the bottleneck is hardware like storage, GPU, or even network, so I should use it to help performance as it can be not great. Not sure if async would be the same situation, but it may be what's easiest.

So yeah, should help a bit with the PinePhone storage being so slow and making things chug when loading icons and making the window take a long time to load...

To improve performance, hide tile contents or even tiles themselves when they're far enough away from the visible area.

I got this idea from a video on 2D Minecraft in the part where it described how chunks work and that they clip the view. It reminded me of how...

I think there could be a button on the lower-left corner of tiles with an ellipsis/"More" icon that opens a popup (when tapping the "open tile editor" button as detailed later) to allow that tile to be configured for stuff like color, tile text, and whether the tile is active (last one would be another option above a "open tile editor" button in a popup), etc.

Tile text and color are easy enough, that just goes in the user's version of the tile's .desktop file. I also have ideas for allowing changing the exact amount of...

Themes should allow importing other themes as a base.

It could get really bad for theme maintenance at some point if it doesn't. I'd need to have a file that says what keys are expected for themes to contain...

Write a script to copy shared Python libraries to each program's `libs` subfolder when changing something instead of manually doing it + extract most of the settings and theme-loading code in `main.py` files out to separate libraries (would need basic stuff like a small class to not break things but most will be pulled out).

(Copied from #236) What I should do is have a "real" version of shared/reused libraries and just have a script that copies them to each program's libs folder. Then the...

We need to check to ensure colors and other values are valid and if not, substitute them with the default theme value for safety.

This is basically what I do with my PortableThemeEngine.

In case my method of loading themes is slow due to reading files, I'll need to somehow construct something in memory that can be referred to by any controls like I did for UXL Launcher.

At least it's working so far.

Allow users to set tile background colors to whatever they want and override both the tile's .desktop file and their accent color for all tiles (if they want, say, black tiles with a light background without using high contrast) and support specifying tile background colors in themes for high contrast theme support.

I just realized I also need to specify whether a theme is high contrast or not in its file. Guess that's what the theme family file is for. I got...
