Theme naming conventions

[aspauldingcode]

Hi.

I'm pretty sure that there will be a dark version and a light version for all schemes.
Whether official or not, for light themes and dark themes that are already in the repo, I'm seeing some naming differences. For example, a regular darkmode theme, could have the name example, and a light variant of it that probably came later would be example-light,

While I see other themes like selenized-dark and selenized-light, whoch feels inconsistent to me.
I know each have a variant property in their yaml config.

I think there should be a naming convention for all schemes which is consistent across the themes collections codebase.

I like having the variant appended at the end with a "-" delimiter.

It feels proper, and could even allow for better gowall scripts (which could choose a theme color variant to recolor a wallpaper based on the name of the theme alone, which reduces overhead of importing a yaml aware parsing tool like yams into this hypothetical theme choosing script.

So, for all themes, I'm suggesting

themename-light and themename-dark

Yeah it's something we can consider. There aren't light + dark variants of every scheme, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't look at the {scheme_name}-{scheme_variant}.yaml filename convention.

Since a lot of schemes would stop working for people since the scheme-name slug is changing, we'd need to modify the styling and builder spec in tinted-theming/home and bump the default tinted-theming/schemes branch to spec-0.12.

We're discussing this for another spec at the moment: tinted-theming/home#145

@belak what are your thoughts on this?

One thing to consider is that some of the names come from an upstream color scheme, outside of the control of base/base24/etc.

Selenized is a good example of this, original names from https://github.com/jan-warchol/selenized/tree/master/terminals/alacritty

• dark
• light
• black
• white

Hmmm...
Yeah it might not work for themes that are named like Cappuccino/Movha from Catpuccin theme
