Before developpings IG windows systems, we should have the possibility to switch UI themes.

The documentation is here : https://docs.godotengine.org/en/latest/tutorials/ui/gui_skinning.html and https://docs.godotengine.org/en/stable/classes/class_theme.html

I (YannK) could work on the themes themselves (studying the way to have a TODO list to create new ones), but I would need the selector in place beforehand.

There should be the choice between two themes : lakne & zbasu (which are the 2 energies of the Khanat)

I have been looking through some documentation and I think I got an idea how to implement this properly. I am not sure of the proper way to implement it in Godot 4, but here are my thoughts.

We should have a user preference to define a global variable containing the theme to be used. And this variable will lead to a folder containing all the UI related stuff : proper Godot theme (for labels/fonts/buttons etc.), icons, background pictures etc. As any folder will contain the same filenames and folder hierarchy, the system would load the component using relative path from the root folder of the theme we have chosen. And if it doesn’t find the proper information from the themes configured, it will get the default value from the default one.

I have just added two placeholder UI themes to be able to make tests. They differ mainly by colors only, khanat aiming at being the default one
