More themes?

Would you agree to have more theme options?

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

To be honest, I don't like the yellow background. But more generally, I'd like to have a highlighting theme which is closer to what I use in the IDE.

Describe the solution you'd like

I'd like to replace the light/dark button in the toolbar with a setting that would provide more theme choices. Those could build upon the existing light/dark themes, and would mainly provide new colors for AvalonEdit highlighting. I think the light/dark colors could be kept as-is for the UI.

Currently, the contents of the xshd files is duplicated because of the two themes. I'm thinking about separating the rulesets from the color definitions in order to have one file per language, plus one file per theme, and override the colors in the xshd file when a theme is chosen.

Another option would be to provide a fully customizable color settings screen, but I'm not sure if it's worth the effort.

Additional context

I can work on this, I just wanted to ask if that's a feature you'd accept before I start.

Actually I started implementing this in #2906. Feedback is welcome.

Now I need to actually add some more themes. 🙂
