Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

The settings app currently does not expose UI options for configuring the Matugen color extraction preference, choosing default text editors (GUI/CLI), or selecting the system launcher (switching between Rofi and Walker). I have implemented and tested these settings locally in my setup, and they work perfectly. I would like to propose these changes to be integrated upstream.

Describe the solution you'd like

I would suggest adding these settings to the default settings.json of the Settings App to allow configuring them directly via the menu:

  1. Matugen Color Preference (under "Appearance" group):
    {
    "name": "Matugen Color Preference",
    "id": "matugen_prefer",
    "instructions": "Select your preferred color scheme extraction logic:",
    "file": "/.config/ml4w/settings/matugen-prefer",
    "type": "choose",
    "mode": "overwrite",
    "default": "saturation",
    "options": [
    "saturation",
    "darkness",
    "lightness",
    "less-saturation",
    "value",
    "closest-to-fallback"
    ],
    "post_command": "    /.config/ml4w/scripts/ml4w-wallpaper $(cat ~/.cache/ml4w/hyprland-dotfiles/current_wallpaper) --skip"
    }
  2. Default GUI and CLI Text Editors (under "Default Apps" group):
    {
    "name": "Default GUI Text Editor",
    "id": "default_gui_editor",
    "instructions": "Select your preferred GUI text editor",
    "file": "~/.config/ml4w/settings/editor.sh",
    "type": "choose",
    "mode": "overwrite",
    "default": "gnome-text-editor",
    "options": ["gnome-text-editor", "gedit"]
    }
  3. System Launcher (under "Default Apps" group):
    {
    "name": "Launcher",
    "id": "system_launcher",
    "instructions": "Please select the launcher. Walker needs to be installed separately.",
    "file": "~/.config/ml4w/settings/launcher",
    "type": "choose",
    "mode": "overwrite",
    "default": "rofi",
    "options": ["rofi", "walker"]
    }
Describe alternatives you've considered

I can continue maintaining these additions locally in my custom configuration folder, but merging them upstream would benefit the project by expanding default settings coverage out-of-the-box.

Additional context

Placing the "Launcher" selection under the "Default Apps" group is highly intuitive, as it fits naturally alongside settings for the default browser, terminal, and file manager.
