~/.config/kando-menu/kando-menu.cfg and configuration

[Jazztache]

For configs, I recon it would be nice if any and all theming, icons, nodes, actions, e.t.c. were available to be set in a config file. Good for those on WMs or people who have a scripting heavy workflow.

[Colours]
highlighted_colour = #44FF44

[Nodes]
node_1_name = "Basic Scripting"
node_1_icon = "terminal"
node_1_exec = "none"

node_1_1_name = "Clear Trash"
node_1_1_icon = "trash"
node_1_1_exec = "~/Scripts/cleartrash.sh"

[Icons]
// You can override icons here as well if you have a custom theme!
trash = "~/Pictures/Icons/trash.svg"
terminal = "~/Pictures/Icons/terminal.svg"

This would also be good, as you can use scripting to modify the config. You then then launch the scripts that modify from the menu itself.
node_1_2_exec "~/PieScripts/changethemegreen.sh
then it could grep and find the correct line to replace using sed.

This is similar to how VLC handles configs.

Thankyou for making such an awesome project!

Hi there! Kando will definitely use human-readable configuration files. I have not yet chosen a specific format. Maybe JSON would be a reasonable choice, but ini files could work as well. The menu's appearance will most likely be configured via themes which themselves will be written in CSS, but the configuration files then refer to those.
