Configurable colors

[tulir]

Allowing users to configure how to color things would be nice.

How would you prefer something like this is implemented? A config file in ~/.config or something? or the weechat method where itd be something like /set color.title=green or whatever?

Nevermind. I found .cache/gomuks/preferences.yaml

[tulir]

Probably best to put it with other preferences in Matrix account data, which is cached to .cache/gomuks/preferences.yaml as you noticed.

I would like to bump this issue a bit, because in my case (solarized light color scheme) without configurable colors (or sane defaults) gomuks is pretty much unusable:

[abrahimladha]

I just grepped through and changed every instance of green to blue and recompiled and then forgot about it. I had something loaded through config.go, but I couldn't get the colors to change from the first colors on reloading the config or program.

I'd say .cache is not a good place to put your config in.
XDG_CONFIG_HOME is a good place to start

[tulir]

gomuks already uses the XDG spec mostly correctly, .cache is the correct place for data cached from the server.

[ejiektpobehuk]

Agreed.

My point is that it's client configuration and probably should not be related to the server

[tulir]

User preferences are stored on the server in account data so they persist and are synced nicely

[ejiektpobehuk]

That's awesome!

I'm sorry for blowing this issue up, but what's the flow to have two differently configured machines?

[tulir]

Currently that's not supported, might add some option for local preference overrides eventually.

[piegamesde]

In the meantime waiting for an implementation, how about a CLI switch that at least force paints a dark background? My screen looks like @vonshednob's and it's totally unusable.
