}A preview of the in-app appearance of such settings:

The new theme settings will appear under META as @var. With the following formatting.
@var [TypeOfSetting¹] [FlagName²] [TextToDisplay³] [Options⁴]
- The type of setting used. The currently known types to me are
- Checkbox (Self explanatory)
- Range (Will provide the end user with a slider to set a variable between two different values)
- Color (Will provide the end user with a color picker to set options such as accent color)
- Select (Will provide the end user with a Dropdown menu with various options to chose from. Can be used for different styles within a theme, for example, different built-in fonts.)
- Text (Will provide the end user with a text entry field, can be used for a custom titlebar text, inserting a custom background image through linking a CDN, or setting a querry to fetch certain data for an API of sorts.)
- The name of the flag. This can be called as a
var()later in the theme. - Self explanatory. Can be used to display a warning or a description about the current setting.
- This value depends on the TypeOfSetting value. can be used to set a default value for Checkbox, a range to choose between for Range, a default value for Color, the available option for Select, and a default value for Text.
These settings will be saved in .config/betterdiscord/data/[release-branch]/data under ThemeSettings.json and will be called whenever a theme of a matching name is loaded (see @name).
