Adds a 'Theme' tab to the environment settings and a '-theme' command
line option.
A theme is a combination of colors, gradients, flags and style
information.
There are two themes:
- 'default': preserves the current default look
- 'dark': uses a more flat for many widgets, dark color theme
for everything
This does not use a stylesheet (too limited), but rather sets
the palette via C++ and modifies drawing behavior.
Overall, the look is more flat (removed some gradients and bevels).
Tested on Ubuntu 14.04 using Qt 5.4 and running on a KDE
Desktop (Oxygen base style).

Changes:
- Introduce class Theme, defining the interface how to access theme
specific settings. The class reads a .creatortheme file (INI file, via
QSettings)
- Define named colors in the [Palette] section
(see dark.creatortheme for example usage)
- Use either named colors of AARRGGBB (hex) in the [Colors]
section
- A file ending with .creatortheme may be supplied
to the '-theme' command line option
- A global Theme instance can be accessed via creatorTheme()
- Query colors, gradients, icons and flags from the theme
were possible (TODO: use this in more places...)
- There are very many color roles. It seems better to me
to describe the role clearly, and then to consolidate later
in the actual theme by assigning the same color.
For example, one can set the text color of the output pane button
individualy.
- Many elements are also drawn differently.
For the dark theme, I wanted to have a flatter look.
- Introduce Theme::WidgetStyle enum, for now {Original, Flat}.
- The theme specifies which kind of widget style it wants.
- The drawing code queries the theme's style flag and
switches between the original, gradient based look and
the new, flat look.
- Create some custom icons which look better on dark background
(wip, currently folder/file icons)
- Let ManhattanStyle draw some elements for non-panelwidgets, too
(open/close arrows in QTreeView, custom folder/file icons)
- For the welcomescreen, pass the WelcomeTheme class.
WelcomeTheme exposes theme colors as Q_PROPERTY accessible from
.qml
- Themes can be modified via the 'Themes' tab in the environment
settings.
