Feat: Full dynamic theme gen from images (+GTK, Zed, *VSCode - Walker UI)

[ryrobes]

End-to-end theme generation from the Omarchy menu

Takes a single image (or picks a random image from a folder), pulls colors, generates a full Omarchy theme from it, and sets it (as theme "Dynamic"). Very easy to use - fully runnable directly in the menu - it's CLI can be scripted, bound, cron scheduled, etc.
i.e omarchy-theme-generate ~/Wallpapers/ my-cool-theme-name

theme-gen4.mp4

• Adds GTK theming (either from image or alacritty.toml)
  • See Nautilus in the video
• Adds Zed theming (from image, read from an existing zed.json, or from walker.css)
• Simple Walker UI file/folder selector via the Omarchy menu
  • Default Walker usage writes to a theme called "Dynamic", that gets overwritten on each run
  • Walker script re-uses the main script with a --walker arg to keep the file sprawl down
• Uses a modified VSCode theme system (backwards compatible with current functionality) that generates the theme and applies it directly so it does not require a pre-installed VSCode theme
• Can be used to generate themes from images "offline" w/o switching the current theme - writing them to the themes directory under an arbitrary theme name (CLI usage)
• Shows a fancy notify-send toast with preview image while generating

Testing: Installed on a fresh 3.1.5 instance, all existing themes work fine (with added Zed and GTK support derived from existing base files).

You can test it on your own by installing the modified scripts from this repo:
https://github.com/ryrobes/omarchy-theme-generate
(simple install script, sample images, etc)

Note: Yes, it's a lot of bash - but quite straightforward - fits with the "Beautiful & Modern" tagline well. No extra deps or weird complexity. Besides, few distros have anything like this out of the box - just like few have good unified (and expanding) theme systems like Omarchy.
