Possibility of having multiple themes for the gradient
chylex opened this issue · comments
Current behaviour (optional)
There are some options to change the look, but none that affect the color gradient.
Description of the desired feature (required)
Since there are many possibilities of how the gradient could look, there could be a drop-down with a few predefined themes.
Why this feature would be valuable (optional)
Purely personal choice of aesthetics.
Additional information or context (optional)
I experimented with what looks I would prefer personally, and came up with a "Dark Flat" theme that uses the dark color of the types:
Another option could be just "Flat" that uses the middle color:
or "Light Flat":
Hi @chylex, I'd be OK with adding these options. Are you willing to open a PR to add these options?
A couple of notes, I'd like the current gradient to remain the default. Likely a good place to add the drop-down would be in the checkboxPanel (along with a sensible rename 😅) unless you can think of a better spot.
Sure, I can add a drop-down with the current style and my 3 new styles, and submit a PR.
When I was experimenting with this, I also thought about adding a way to quickly cycle through a bunch of different Pokémon, to see how each style looks with different types - what do you think about a button in the Settings that randomly changes currently shown Pokémon? If that sounds good, I could include it in the PR, or open a new issue for it. I'm not sure what'd be a good spot for it though.
Could that maybe be added to or replace the preview panel on the configuration page?
It could be a "refresh" or "randomize" button on that panel.
Perhaps it would be better to do that as a separate PR if it isn't too much extra work, just to keep this ticket pared down to only what is relevant to it.
Yea, I'll implement it separately and open a new issue with screenshots of how it looks before I PR it.
Perfect, thank you!
