Well done! I'm a little confused about the theme customization though. Is the idea to feed config.py into ChatGPT and ask it for a custom version of it? If so, have you already done that?

Also, I noticed there are shaders in that config. Have you tried doing special effects with that like bloom or CRT effects?

Thanks a lot :) just copy the contents of the getAdvancedColorSettings() and getBackgroundColorSettings() functions from config.py, paste them into ChatGPT, and say:

“Let’s do something fancy.”

This video shows some effects generated with ChatGPT in version 1.9 of the app:

Version 2.3 (now with Windows support) brings major improvements.
