Option to select "Theme variant"

[hemberger]

This is a feature request. Gnome Terminal has an option to select a variant of the system theme:

This has been perfect for me, because I like the "Yaru Dark" theme for my terminals, but "Yaru Light" for everything else.

I realize there are ways to achieve this with CSS selectors, but I think this is a common enough preference that it warrants an easy option.

Thanks for reviving Terminator. It is my favorite terminal program! :)

This might be an easy one for somebody to pick up.

if you just want use terminator dark theme (when system use light theme)

this wrapper script maybe rough solve the problem //tested on Ubuntu 22.04 (instead of hack css file details)

Content of dark_terminator.sh

#!/bin/bash

GTK_THEME=Yaru:dark terminator "$@" &
sleep 0.5
xprop -f _GTK_THEME_VARIANT 8u -set _GTK_THEME_VARIANT "dark" -id $(xdotool getactivewindow)

// change the theme as your favor // adjust the sleep time long enough

Usage

just run ./dark_terminator.sh instead of terminator
