Add theme switching system with vantablack and white themes

[mswell]

Summary

Implement a comprehensive theme switching system that allows users to toggle between vantablack (dark) and white (light) themes across Hyprland, Waybar, and Kitty. This includes a new theme-switch script, theme configuration files, and integration with the existing configuration.

Key Changes

• New theme-switch script (config/hypr/scripts/theme-switch.sh): Bash script that manages theme switching across all applications

  • Supports three modes: vantablack, white, and toggle
  • Updates symlinks for Hyprland colors, Waybar CSS, and Kitty themes
  • Handles wallpaper switching via hyprpaper with random selection
  • Reloads Hyprland and Waybar to apply changes
  • Persists current theme selection and shows desktop notification

• Theme configuration files: Created dual theme sets for both Hyprland and Kitty

  • config/hypr/themes/vantablack.conf and white.conf: Define color variables for Hyprland
  • config/kitty/themes/vantablack.conf and white.conf: Kitty terminal color schemes
  • config/waybar/themes/vantablack.css and white.css: Waybar styling with CSS custom properties

• Updated Hyprland configuration:

  • Replaced hardcoded Gruvbox colors with dynamic theme variables
  • Added keybinding Super+Shift+T to toggle themes
  • Updated hyprland.conf to source colors.conf (managed by theme-switch script)
  • Enabled animations (previously disabled)
  • Removed wpaperd in favor of hyprpaper

• Updated Waybar styling:

  • Refactored style.css to import theme-specific CSS variables
  • Replaced all hardcoded colors with semantic CSS custom properties (@bg, @fg, @accent, etc.)

• Updated Hyprlock configuration:

  • Changed to source colors.conf instead of hardcoded gruvbox.conf

• Wallpaper assets: Added theme-specific background images

  • Vantablack backgrounds: 5 images (dot-hands, twisted-stairs, layers-deep, layers-stacked, omarchy)
  • White backgrounds: 4 images (3 white variants, omarchy)

Implementation Details

• Theme switching uses symlinks to manage configuration without duplicating settings
• The script includes a 0.3s delay before reloading Waybar to ensure Hyprland reload completes
• Wallpaper selection is randomized from the theme directory
• All color definitions use semantic naming (accent, muted, urgent, etc.) for consistency across applications
• Theme persistence allows the system to remember user preference across restarts
