Add support for color scheme configuration

[trincasidra]

Describe the solution you'd like

I'd like to be able to configure the color scheme, for example changing a file such as ~/.config/fjira/fjira.conf.

Describe alternatives you've considered

• Another option would be for fjira to inherit the color scheme of the terminal it's running in... but that looks harder to do.
• I also checked if I could customize tcell colors globally, but I don't think that's possible, as all color names are hardcoded in colors.go.

@trincasidra color scheme sounds good :)

do you have any proposal about the schema itself? what(which parts) should be "configurable"?

[trincasidra]

Nice! Thanks :)

Personally the ones I'd really love to change the most are:

• App background and foreground.
• Bottom bar background and foreground. For the shortcut text, BottomBarActionBarKeyBold, maybe it would make sense to have the option to use the app background color (or just default to that if not provided).
• Top bar background and foreground.
• Kanban board headers background and foreground.
• Highlighted issue background and foreground (for both list and board views).

But in the end, I think being able to change everything would be nice to have:

• Issue details' boxes title and border. I believe it would be super nice to be able to have a separate color for the box title and box border, but I'm unsure if it's technically possible.
• The highlighted issue's red > symbol on the left-most side.
• The yellow input help text (ie. "select issue...") and project/issue counter.
• The green and underlined highlighted characters when searching/filtering.
• The red foreground when selecting an issue in a board.
• I would also really appreciate to be able to set up some conditional coloring on the status column (ie. like making "DONE" green, "CANCELLED" gray or "BLOCKED" red).
• Similarly, the assignee column could have something similar (thinking gray for "Unassigned")

@trincasidra I totally agree - it would be really nice feature :) I had a plan to standardise colors within the app a bit anyway - I'll do it 👍

I think I can take this up with the beginning of the new year - just follow that issue, I will make a note as soon as feature is ready

[trincasidra]

Great! Glad to hear :)

@trincasidra ready in version 1.2.x

Custom color scheme could be defined in ~/.fjira/colors.yml file. Just create sucha file, and modify the scheme. Default color scheme file is here: colors.yml

Please let me know if it fits :)

Great, glad to see this! I've been fiddling around and I've mostly set up the colors, however I think that at least the default:background doesn't seem to render properly.

For example, I've set it up as #282a36 which is the same background as my terminal, however it renders as #262626:

Otherwise, it all looks great :)

@trincasidra interesting - I will check how it goes on my local

[mk-5]

@trincasidra it's "okay" on my local - I'm using iTerm 2 on MacOS.

Default background color is #161616 which is equivalent to 22,22,22

Which terminal are you using?

[trincasidra]

I'm using bash over kitty, however I've tried this on some other terminals and I get the same result:

@trincasidra super weird issue 😄 I will try to dig a bit deeper and find something

[trincasidra]

Yeah, thanks!
