Creating new color schemes

1. Create a color palette and save it as colors/theme_name.def. Color palettes are Python dictionaries mapping 16 + 3 color keys to HTML color codes. The following example provides a template:

   palette = {
       # special
       "foreground":    "#ebdbb2",
       "background":    "#282828",
       "cursorcolor":   "#ebdbb2",
   
       # black
       "black":         "#3c3836",
       "brightblack":   "#504945",
   
       # red
       "red":           "#fb4934",
       "brightred":     "#cc241d",
   
       # green
       "green":         "#b8bb26",
       "brightgreen":   "#98971a",
   
       # yellow
       "yellow":        "#fabd2f",
       "brightyellow":  "#d79921",
   
       # blue
       "blue":          "#83a598",
       "brightblue":    "#458588",
   
       # magenta
       "magenta":       "#d1849b",
       "brightmagenta": "#b16286",
   
       # cyan
       "cyan":          "#8ec07c",
       "brightcyan":    "#689d6a",
   
       # gray/white
       "gray":          "#a89984",
       "white":         "#ebdbb2",
   }

2. Use the make_colorscheme.py script to create the LyX color scheme. For example, to create the Gruvbox color scheme from the color palette defined in colors/gruvbox.def file, run:

   make_colorscheme.py gruvbox
   

   This creates a LyX colorscheme and saves it to out/gruvbox_lyx_cs.
