Detect light vs. dark color schemes

#1

I’m always trying out new color schemes, and it’s hard to remember what a scheme looks like from its name. It’d be great if the menu bar could add a simple light/dark marker to each theme, depending on the luminance of the base background vs. foreground colors.

Why not just rename the color schemes to something you will remember. Perhaps add “Dark” to the end of the dark schemes and “light” to the ends of the light schemes…

Why take 10 minutes to do tedious work when I can spend it asking a programmer to build a brand-new feature that would do it for me in 5?

Actually, I buckled down and did that… the painful part was really the five-level-deep hierarchical menu selection, so I made a QuicKeys macro that’d open the Preferences > Color Schemes > User > etc. menu.
