## Description

kitty-themes is a theme manager and color scheme gallery for the Kitty terminal. It provides a library of predefined hexadecimal color palettes and a tool to browse and apply these visual themes to the terminal interface.

The project enables live previewing of different color configurations in a running terminal instance or a separate window before permanently saving changes. It functions as a shell-based configuration tool that injects color variables into configuration files and triggers immediate refreshes via system signals.
