3.6 themes explicit color definition

[yn1046]

What I did

Tried to redo the famous Dracula theme via the new Themes feature from 3.6 preview:

Themes [
	[
		Name = Dracula
		TextColor = #F8F8F2
		BackgroundColor = #282A36
		ControlBackgroundColor = #282A36
		LinkColor = #FF79C6
		ColorizeControls = true
	]
]

What I got

Because the text color (#F8F8F2) is a shade (an extremely white one) of yellow, some text colors are implicitly defined as varieties of yellow (e.g. disabled button text, disabled button selection, text links).

Proposal

Remove this confusing implicit color logic. The user should be able to define ALL the colors used in the UI explicitly in the Themes section of settings.

Hmm that themes site relies on suggesting non conventual settings so

Default Light is

Themes [
]

Default Dark is

Themes [
]

Theme = Dark from 3.5 is

Themes [
]

So the simplest is delete any custom "Themes" entries

@GitHubRulesOK Not helpful and goes against the whole point of this issue. This is a request for explicit color definitions, not someone asking how to delete their custom theme.

I don't disagree although there is a cost to adding more colors: it makes creating themes harder.

This is relatively simple to do but tedious (has to determine which colors to define, add to settings, update themes and update the app to use those colors in appropriate places).

If someone wants to give it a try, that would be great.
