Generate a ton of themes based on editor themes

[corysimmons]

This is just a fun thing, but it'd be nice to generate a bunch of classic themes (from terminals and editors) as a themes on the app.

Like I'm curious what Solarized or Material Theme would look like as shadcn-ui themes.

Obviously, we wouldn't have to match up all the colors completely, but just finding some pattern like primary, accent, background, etc. and filling those in to work would be interesting.

Again, just a silly feature. :)

I was thinking about that aswell. Do you have any idea where we could find all the themes? Instead of having to search for them one by one...

But ye, we would just have to figure out their data structure (e.g. vscode theme) and map them to the shadcn structure

Got a first version working btw, will release it next week.

Oh wow! Those look better than I thought they would. I haven't done X since I was a teen. 🛼

@jln13x I know you're probably burnt out on this feature, but what are your thoughts on just inverting the colors to provide an opposite theme?

That is all the shadcn-ui themes have a dark + light theme, but all these VSCode themes only provide one.

Do they look good if you just invert them? (you'd have to set which one is the dark theme based on something like the background color)

Should be possible, also played around with a bit already. Just wanted to get this feature out quickly.

Gotta be lots of trial n error tho, maybe next weekend 👀
