It's working well and looking good for me! Any UI/UX improvements are something to be done separatedly, with #480.

Thanks for your work! 👍
I've reviewed the code and added quite some comments. I hope they're understandable - especially the very long one about data flow 😉

this is very good visually! i think being able to create custom categories would also be nice (since i don't use purple for places, places are nouns, and i use the "place" category / purple color for questions instead), but other than that, this already works basically exactly as i requested!!

Yeah I had done that but its really complicated - we settled so far on duplicating an existing theme and editing that than doing it by scratch due to the various different ways you'd have to categorise button types. Maybe we release it as is and think how we do this for a future Issue

Works as expected! Why is "Base Scheme Type" deactivated in the modal window? It’s confusing to see it disabled while knowing that the modal window actually uses the active color scheme. We think it would be better if it were active, so you could change the color scheme directly in the modal window from the one you want to start with.

The "Save" button in modal window doesn't work :-( You cannot save new custom-color theme.

The "Base Scheme Type" is activated now and you can select whatever regular scheme as base to modify.

​Now works the "Save" button BUT if you edit a custom-color scheme created and change the name, the system creates a new scheme with this new name not rename the actual one that is the expected behaviour.

Think thats working @arasaac-dga - thanks for your help. That was faster than me finding that! I feel something might still be not working but cant figure out what..

[arasaac-dga]

Now the problem is that when you create a New Theme doesn't save the name. Always is "New theme". But after create it, you can rename it without problem.

(just reading through things: could you rename existing categories as a mid step? instead of creating new ones. Maybe that'd be easier.
Example - I use (place) purple for all socials, and (social) pink for medical, and so on. It works, but would be nicer to be able to assign them without remembering the "translations".)
