Theme options for VisiData

[saulpw]

VisiData has so many configuration options, it can be hard to keep track of them all. I'm starting this thread to show off the possibilities. If you have custom display options set for VisiData, please post them here!

I have this little snippet to change the icon for a VisiData type:

vd.typemap[int].icon = 'ⓓ'

Here's a light theme I threw together (from VisiData Plus): https://github.com/visidata/vdplus/blob/develop/lightscheme.py

Here's one I mentioned before (#887 (comment)) that can help read multiline cells:

There are options for disp_row_top, disp_row_mid, disp_row_bottom, where you can use the unicode box drawing characters to make a bracket. There are different types of box drawing characters. For example:
╔
║
╚

It'd be great if there were screenshots with these suggestions! Could do casual vd theme browsing 😜

Great idea! I'd love it if someone put together some screenshots.

On develop, just made a lightweight theme chooser, and added the light theme from vdplus, and made two new themes, asciimono and ascii8. Check em out:

Is there a way to create custom themes ? I don't see any in the documentation.

As a side note, my light theme is different from yours. The background is correct but everything that's supposed to be colored aside from the top bar is black. Am I missing something or is this a bug ?
