#5 Presets

[burak]

I click "Custom" button and then "Change…" button and customise the theme, change all colours and so on. At the end I've transformed my qt5 theme to, let's say, Solarized.

Fine. But then I want something different, something like Zenburn or a light theme, purple theme etc. Now I have change my meticulously customised Solarized theme to Zenburn and loose Solarized.

For a workaround I've created 9 qt5ct.config presets in these folders:

~/Public/Qt5Config/Blue/qt5ct.config
~/Public/Qt5Config/Dusk/qt5ct.config
~/Public/Qt5Config/Grey/qt5ct.config
~/Public/Qt5Config/Night/qt5ct.config
~/Public/Qt5Config/Solarized/qt5ct.config
~/Public/Qt5Config/Zenburn/qt5ct.config
…

Now whenever I want to change my qt5 theme without loosing my presets I choose one of the below symlink commands from my Fluxbox menu:

ln -sf ~/Public/Qt5Config/Blue/qt5ct.conf ~/.config/qt5ct/qt5ct.conf
ln -sf ~/Public/Qt5Config/Dusk/qt5ct.conf ~/.config/qt5ct/qt5ct.conf
ln -sf ~/Public/Qt5Config/Grey/qt5ct.conf ~/.config/qt5ct/qt5ct.conf
ln -sf ~/Public/Qt5Config/Night/qt5ct.conf ~/.config/qt5ct/qt5ct.conf
ln -sf ~/Public/Qt5Config/Solarized/qt5ct.conf ~/.config/qt5ct/qt5ct.conf
ln -sf ~/Public/Qt5Config/Zenburn/qt5ct.conf ~/.config/qt5ct/qt5ct.conf
…

This works very fine. Yet it would be a fine convenience if not against your design principles or a big trouble for you to have such functionality built inside qt5ct like so:

After I make varios customisations I click "Save as a preset" button and name my new preset. And there's another button "Choose a preset" and by clicking on it I choose one of my presets.
