Describe the request

IDE2 comes with two primary themes: Arduino Light and Arduino Dark. The themes define all colors for every UI element, including the coloring in the editors. These files are:

The IDE2 themes have flaws here and there; a few of them are the followings:

Devs cannot modify the theme JSON files manually because they're generated from a JSON file that is not part of this repository and is not under version control.

When somebody modifies the god JSON file, GH Actions automatically creates a PR with the derived theme JSON changes. See an example here or here. We can improve the following workflow.

  • Add documentation on what's happening and how to change the god JSON file to trigger the automatic PR.
  • When the theme update auto PR arrives, it does not contain the original author of the god JSON file. The auto-PR carries no information about why the change was made. (We could consider moving the god JSON file under version control)
  • Finally, as a dev, I would like to make tiny color changes and necessarily depend on others.
