Description

I would love if flameahot had an option to select ui-colors from the selected GTK+ or Qt theme that’s installed on the users system. It would make it possible to have a more coherent and nicer looking ui compared to the other parts of the desktop. For this I mean the customizable colors for the screenshot GUI and not the desktop of the configuration utility itself.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine how flameshot currently handles colors in the screenshot GUI. Investigate how to read GTK and Qt theme colors from the system (e.g., via QPalette or GtkStyleContext). Explore adding a setting to enable this feature and integrate it into the GUI.
