Screenshots

Important notes

Some color constants in colors.tdesktop-theme are marked as // [UNTESTED], this because I couldn't find the elements responsable in the app. So if you find something strange open an issue (with a screenshot of the element and it's name if possible) and I'll fix.

You can also use light colorschemes, no need for extra option, just run tde normally.

The theme works with wal too, not just pywal.
